--- Comment #12 from Krinkle <[email protected]> 2011-01-03 19:16:38 UTC --- There are plenty of reasons to to link the image directly to Commons: 1) If I have a private wiki and use InstantCommons, my visitors should see the description page in our language without having to go to Commons. 2) If a wiki has a local page also with information (for example the "badimage" and "featured image" templates on en.wikipedia even for images that are hosted on Commons) 3) Too many users create content on Commons that doens't belong there already (ie. writing news articles for Wikinews or encyclopedic content meant for Wikipedia). Although there are other causes and parts to this particular problem, taking users to it without them knowing (aside from a different logo and some minor details) is a bade idea imho. Clicking [edit] in the headings already takes the user directly to Commons. An Edit tab in the main navigation could be handy in cases, but what about case 2) above ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
