Hi,

I've hit an interesting problem with the URL of an image (not the
description page) on the OSM wiki. I could not see the image from
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:731.jpg until I actually
clicked on the "full resolution" link. The reason for that was that
the image URL was http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/a/ad/731.jpg
, and one adblock rule was blocking "/ad/".

That particular rule was from my personal list, but I've noticed that
EasyList, the "basic" subscription for AdBlockPlus users, is also
blocking lots of strings that start with /ad/.

Has someone else notice such a problem on WMF wikis? Do you think it
would be worth it to change MediaWiki so that it doesn't generates
URLs containing /ad/, /ads/ or something else along these lines?

Thanks,
   Strainu
