These images are example images for keys/tags. They are used outside the wiki, i.e. in taginfo. Not everybody will use the Wiki magic that creates thumbnails for those images. So it makes sense to use a sensible size. |

Where are the highest-resolution images used? |

I don't understand this page https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/sources/wiki/image_size#large
This page downloads images that are 20 to 200 MB* directly!! What for?! Loading this page almost crashed my computer. What does the size of the original file matter? On the Wiki the images are scaled to smaller sizes. Nowhere are they displayed that large.
It seems that https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/sources/wiki/image_size#large is the only page that downloads these images at the highest possible resolution. On the OSM Wiki, this situation doesn't occur. Most of, if not all, these images are on Wikimedia Commons so it's not an error on the Wiki.
*(Before I wrote this post, there was a 200 MB image, but I unlinked it because it was not a suitable illustration of the article.)
