I would agree that on-wiki we broadly assume that images will link back to their File page which gives all of the attribution and license information. I see that `|link=` is used quite a bit on mw:Manual:Pywikibot <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot> which does feel like a potential attribution issue for images like https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Hackathon_2013,_Amsterdam_-_Flickr_-_Sebastiaan_ter_Burg_(22).jpg which are CC-BY licensed rather than PD licensed. Good point, I see @JJMC89 has already added the links required for attribution. I added short alt text to these for accessibility (image links shouldn't have empty alt text).
