Because the wiki versions files, you can update any media file, and still have the "old" one accessible.  This works in much the same way as the thumbnailing too... except the word 'archive' is in the path.

−
<code>$wgTmpDirectory = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/tmp";</code> in a v1_26 version of MediaWiki. Thumbnails were generated after I commented-out the setting (thus restoring the default from DefaultSettings.php -- which luckily worked for me).
