[[:Image:Example.jpg]] show in WhatLinksHere
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Author: ahoerstemeier

Description:
Until recently links with a colon at begin weren't listed in the WhatLinksHere
of an Image. There should be either a second WhatUsesImage which only include
the actual uses of an image/media, or this change of behaviour should be undone.
Now it gets much more difficult to clean the pages using Example.jpg
accidentally, as much more pages are listed.

It's a link to the image, so it shows up in What Links Here. This behaviour
should not have changed for some time.

The behaviour changed between last Friday and today, and those with colon had
never been linked before. While it is a link, for images a link and a use is
something different, which should be treated differently.

I have to correct myself - it was someone who "fixed" the links on my user page
I use to find the wrong uses, and I didn't realize I was looking at a totally
different page. Sorry.
