Nothing. I upgraded the server last night. Was missing imagemagick. Sorry about that. I wanted to move to graphicsmagick, but there are some mediawiki incompatibilities.

It is fixed now. Thanks for the contribution. Only the thumbnail generation was not working.

I see you uploaded anothe copy of the image. But I don't see the difference - it looks the same?

Also, when naming images it helps to give it a more descriptive/unique name, so for example "bubble bobble (sticker)" rather than just sticker. Also if you do have a new version of a file, you can upload a new revision for the file rather than a new filename. (changing filenames is done usually when the old name was not as intended for example)

he reason i uploadet it again after you wrote last time, was that it dod´nt show the thombnail.

I dont how to edit the image database, so can´t you delete the two images i uploadet first, and edit the name to Bubble Bobble Sticker?

I meant the thumbnail generation was broken. I fixed it and everything was ok. No need to reupload. It is better to fix names on the initial upload, so I was just informing you for future reference. I will fix this of course.
