           Summary: Redirect file names for Commons files should display on
                    other wikis
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Redirects
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


There is no easy way to tell what the markup corresponding to a redirected
image is (except on Commons, by going to the image page). The mouse-over text
brings up the name of the target file, not the redirect version. In a page
crowded with markup, it's helpful to be able to see the name of the file as
it's actually written on that page. Also, since redirects are used to provide
descriptive file names in others languages, it would make sense for the
redirect name rather than the target name to be displayed as mouse-over text,
and for there to be a "redirected from" link on the off-Commons version of the
image page.
