Bug ID: 69977
Summary: The link feature should provide the normal URL, not
add #mediaviewer to it
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: MultimediaViewer

When viewing an image in MediaViewer it is difficult to actually get the URL of
the image.
The MediaViewer system provides a URL but with a whole bunch of added stuff
specific to Media Viewer. All I want is the actual URL but this is not possible
within media viewer, I have to go to Commons to get that. Providing the
simplest, 'real' URL should be a minimum standard of the 'reuse' functionality
I would have thought.
Equally, it doesn't give me the simple filename. It only provides the
wikimarkup to embed the image as a thumbnail.
For example,
If I visit the English Wikipedia article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Federation_of_Women_Voters
There is one photo. If I click on that image it gives me the file in Media
Viewer.
If I click the 'reuse' icon (the square with the arrow coming out of it) and
then the 'share' tab, this is the URL that is provided:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Australian_Federation_of_Women_Voters_3rd_conference.jpg#mediaviewer/File:Australian_Federation_of_Women_Voters_3rd_conference.jpg
But in reality the ACTUAL URL is just the first part
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Australian_Federation_of_Women_Voters_3rd_conference.jpg
All the second part is just additions forced by the MediaViewer.
Equally, if I click the 'embed' tab then it gives me all this code:
[[File:Australian Federation of Women Voters 3rd conference.jpg|thumb|Delegates
to the 3rd Triennial Inter-state Conference of the Federation, Melbourne, May
1930]]
This is correct and should remain, but there is no other place to access the
filename which is this: File:Australian Federation of Women Voters 3rd
conference.jpg
Please - make it easy to access the real URL and the real filename from within
mediaviewer.
