Description

When making this request:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=mobileview&format=json&noheadings=true&page=Ancillae Assumpta Academy&prop=sections|text|lastmodified|lastmodifiedby|languagecount|id|protection|editable|displaytitle|thumb|description|image|revision&sectionprop=toclevel|line|anchor|level|number|fromtitle|index&sections=all&thumbwidth=640

I get a response containing images that aren't actually visible in the article (and aren't of the subject):

"image": {
  "width": 2592,
  "file": "FLW Beth Sholom exterior.jpg",
  "height": 1944
},
"thumb": {
  "url": "//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e4/FLW_Beth_Sholom_exterior.jpg/640px-FLW_Beth_Sholom_exterior.jpg",
  "width": 640,
  "height": 480
}

The image is from the "Cheltenham" template which is in the article but not visible in the MobileView HTML.

This query has the same issue:

• Fjalapeno moved this task from Needs Triage to Tracking on the Wikipedia-iOS-App-Backlog board.

I found another article that has the same problem (with the same incorrect image):

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=mobileview&format=json&noheadings=true&page=Bishop McDevitt High School (Wyncote, Pennsylvania)&prop=sections|text|lastmodified|lastmodifiedby|languagecount|id|protection|editable|displaytitle|thumb|description|image|revision&sectionprop=toclevel|line|anchor|level|number|fromtitle|index&sections=all&thumbwidth=640

Seems incorrect images are being returned by action=query:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&prop=images&titles=Ancillae+Assumpta+Academy

The images are actually from the "Cheltenham" template, which is on both pages

{{Cheltenham}}

@JoeWalsh good catch!

• Fjalapeno removed a project: Readers-Web-Backlog.Jul 25 2016, 9:05 PM

re-adding the backlog, we'll probably track it if you're going to address it.

I've also added pageimages, given it looks like an issue there.

Jhernandez moved this task from Incoming to 2014-15 Q4 on the Readers-Web-Backlog board.Jul 27 2016, 4:11 PM

The images are in the article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancillae_Assumpta_Academy#collapsibleTable0
but they are in a nav box which is hidden in mobile due to not being mobile friendly.
The api is doing the right thing.

Doing something better than scrubbing them is tracked in T132560
