Am I the only person who fīnd it meaningless to request a "smaller version" of a vector image? No matter how small it is, the fact that it's a vector image means that it can always be scaled up and down (theoretically) indefinitely.

All files must satisfy WP:NFCC#3b. For example, bitmap file size is determined by the pixel count, while sound file size is determined by the running length. This is neither a bitmap file nor a sound file. Changing the default display size of a vector does not change the size of the file, so I assume that the size of the file is determined in some other way. --Stefan2 (talk) 01:25, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But how, sir? By restricting the number of anchor points or the number of vectors? I'm asking because there're currently no specifications (in fact, not even any mentions) regarding vector images in WP:NFCC. Cédric ^{SAYS NO to anti-diacritic crusades!} 19:38, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you reduce the number of anchor points or the number of vectors, then the updated file contains less information, so I'd assume that the file is 'smaller' within the meaning of WP:NFCC#3b. It is unclear how 'big' a vector file may be, though. For example, is the current version 'small' enough for WP:NFCC#3b? I have no idea. --Stefan2 (talk) 19:47, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. Hop on Bananas (talk) 21:46, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
