Bug ID: 69389
Summary: No indication that file shown is up for deletion and
thus may actually not be free
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: MultimediaViewer

When a file that has a license but is up for deletion, there is no clear
indication in the media viewer that the license shown may actually not be
correct. Users are enticed to "use this file" and share it despite its
incorrect license. This is especially bad for files going through a regular
deletion process ({{delete}}-Template at the Commons), as that may take quite
long, but it's also bad for Files tagged as {{no source}}, {{no license}}, or
{{copyvio}}.
An example entirely from the English Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwayne_Johnson#mediaviewer/File:Rock_Sharpshooter.jpg
(which appears as
http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large_lightbox/public/photo/image/2013/04/WM29_Photo_203.jpg
at http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/29/the-rock-john-cena-photos no
evidence of free license and most likely © WWE: a plain old copyvio)
Example for a Commons image:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T.Raja_Singh_Lodh#mediaviewer/File:9-H-TEM.jpg
(the latter comes from
http://sureshixp.blogspot.com/2012/11/police-action-in-old-city.html and would
need at least a OTRS release.)
Users should *not* get any re-use options for files in a deletion process. In
fact, maybe it'd be best not to use the mediaviewer interface for such cases at
all but open the file description page right away, as that usually has such
problem tags quite visible at the top.
