Bug #: 38634
Summary: Get rid of duplicate image description pages
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Site configuration
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
For any given Wikimedia Commons media file, there is a description page in each
individual installation of Wikimedia, such as
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Bundesarchiv_Bild_102-06822,_Berlin,_Internationale_Automobilausstellung.jpg
for
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dc/Bundesarchiv_Bild_102-06822%2C_Berlin%2C_Internationale_Automobilausstellung.jpg
and
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bundesarchiv_Bild_102-06822,_Berlin,_Internationale_Automobilausstellung.jpg
respectively.
The image description is pulled from Wikiemdia Commons. If an image is embedded
into a Wiki article, the direct link is to the specific project web site's
image description page and not to the actual description page at Wikimedia.
However, a rather visible link from (for example) de.wikipedia.org to
commons.wikimedia.org is shown below the image in the image description page.
The duplication is counterintuitive and a source of constant confusion.
Links to image description pages should point to the image description page of
Wikimedia Commons directly, not to the local wiki.
