So this is a file that has everything on one layer, nothing grouped.  Those are the two things that apparently screw up file conversions.  It still doesn't render correctly.  However, as before if you click on the direct link below the image, you'll see it came through correctly.  The internal SVG renderer is what's choking.  And it appears to not be correctly dealing with a transparent file, either, since this one has no background behind it.  Oops.  Looks like PNG format it will be. Definitely file a bug report with MediaWiki.  They should see this. --[[User:Scotchfairy|Scotchfairy]] 10:28, 4 August 2006 (CDT)

:I'm not an expert of graphic formatting on MediaWiki, but I do know that we prefer JPGs or PNG image uploads here as policy. Might still be a MW bug, yes. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 12:40, 4 August 2006 (CDT)
::I was asked to upload SVG format because it scales prettier, or it's supposed to.  We now know that's not true. --[[User:Scotchfairy|Scotchfairy]] 21:36, 4 August 2006 (CDT)
:::Should have mentioned this earlier--according to the folks over at Wikipedia, it's a known bug (notoriously well-known), it's just that some of the folks at WikiCommons are still holding forth for SVG as an ideological point.  I now know why everything I've done for Wikipedia was PNG or JPG.  But it's definitely a combination of bugs: MediaWiki's internal rendering engine is broken, plus Adobe's browser plugin will not always correctly render (or even read) files produced by other  Adobe programs (much less third-party software like inkblot).  Avoid the format like the plague.--[[User:Scotchfairy|Scotchfairy]] 04:55, 10 August 2006 (CDT)
SVG files have been deleted until the bug can be fixed. no point having them here when the PNG files are working just fine. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 04:47, 10 August 2006 (CDT)
==Where did the file go??==
Er, what happened to the file? Did it get deleted, or lost in the reshuffle?? --[[User:Fordsierra4x4|Fordsierra4x4]] 11:15, 19 November 2006 (CST)
:All images have been moved to the ''Battlestar Wiki Media'' site. New location [[:md:Image:ColonialBannerSeal.png]] --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 11:34, 19 November 2006 (CST)
::Lifesaver dude! My RAID array was the victim of W32.Gael.3666 the other day and i ended up having to lose 7gb of my 'My Documents' folder which contained my wallpaper. I now have a new 19" 16:10 widescreen monitor (£140!!!) and the 1280x1024 version i did looked utter cack when stretched... --[[User:Fordsierra4x4|Fordsierra4x4]] 11:51, 19 November 2006 (CST)
