           Summary: Media: view URLs should HTTP-redirect to canonical File:
                    namespace
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
               URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media:Northern_Spotted_Owl.
                    USFWS-thumb.jpg
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Images
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


A direct view URL which uses the 'Media:' special namespace currently brings up
the Image:/File: page transparently, however it doesn't redirect you to the
canonical URL, the way that using a non-canonical form of the Image/File
namespace does.

To ensure links are pointed sensibly, an HTTP redirect should be issued here.

eg:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media:Northern_Spotted_Owl.USFWS-thumb.jpg

->

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Northern_Spotted_Owl.USFWS-thumb.jpg
