[[Image:Bitmap VS SVG.svg|thumb|One of the reasons why you should use SVG instead of other file formats.]]

[[SVG]] (Scalable Vector Graphics) resources. Why SVG, one might ask? Look to the image on the right. SVG images stored at Wikipedia or on the [[Wikimedia Commons]] aren't actually what you see in your browser when viewing Wikipedia articles. [[MediaWiki]] converts the SVG image to a [[Portable Network Graphics|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. If you're using a browser other than [[Internet Explorer]], just keep clicking the image and you'll eventually get the full-size image, which will be the SVG version. For example; keep clicking the image to the right. For more info please see: [[
