Description

If I use [[Media:Example.png]] I want a direct link to the file, not to the file description page. That's how it works in normal wikitext, but not in Flow boards which link to the file description page instead.

This is a bug in Parsoid: the same thing happens if you edit a page with a [[Media:]] link in VE, right click it and choose "open in a new tab".
