[[SVG]] (Scalable Vector Graphics) resources. Why SVG, one might ask? For one reason see [[:Image:Bitmap VS SVG.svg]]. SVG images stored at Wikipedia or on the [[Wikimedia Commons]] aren't actually what you see in your browser. [[MediaWiki]] converts the SVG image to a [[PNG]] image. The SVG format is the working format of the stored image so that people can more easily convert images for use in different languages. For more info please see: [[commons:Commons:File types#SVG|Commons:File types#SVG]].
