When you replace an image with a different file format the image gets converted. That's great but either add a confirmation in the upload form to continue or add a top banner note after returning to the file page. Sometimes I don't want that. E.g. when JPG is converted to PNG (large file size) or PNG to JPG (quality loss, esp on screenshots). Best might be the confirmation in the upload form. Maybe offer an additional option: * Convert and continue * Create a separate file page
I dont understand. Afaik we never convert jpg to png.

Turns out the MIME detection is not properly working on the wiki. Then it does this: Upload a PNG > Replace file > Select a JPG > Wait... > Be redorected to file page > Find out your JPG is a giant PNG now.
Exact and specific steps to reproduce still welcome. (There are several ways to upload files etc.) Or posting on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk because this might not be a software bug but a misconfiguration...
Closing. As said, I found out the non-working MIME detection caused this.
