AVID:Requests for Comment/Upscaling images

I have seen one user complain about another updating uploads that are upscaled versions of the previous ones. The question with this is whether or not to allow upscaling on the site? On one hand, they do increase the quality of small sizes but at the same time lose the small details within them.

So, the format of this RfC will be different from the others, considering I am not sure whether to speak in favor or against them, but still revolves around gathering community consensus on a specific idea. Camenati (talk) 05:39, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Allow upscaling
✅ so long as it is for active preservation rather than for the sake of upscaling. (name change coming soon) 05:41, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

We need it for quality. (• USER TALK! •) 12:43, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Forbid upscaling
While it may indeed increase the quality, it doesn't look great most of the time and, in general, feels inauthentic. Metronome (talk) 11:56, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
