UploadWizard hangs up when provided URL for Flickr "tag"
Open, LowPublic

Description

I wanted to upload free images of Grey Dagger Moth Caterpillar so I pasted into upload wizard https://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/greydaggermothcaterpillar URL. The Wizard started showing rotating circle and never recovered. There are only 36 images using this tag and some are under free license.

I don't think we support this kind of URL (link to a tag search). But you should at least get a nice error message.

Looks like this URL mistakenly matches our check for links to user's photostream:

userPhotostreamMatches = flickrInputUrl.match( /flickr\.com\/(?:x\/t\/[^\/]+\/)?photos\/([^\/]+)/ );

Tags are a bit like categories on Commons. If I want a photograph of some insect than the easiest way to find it. Maybe we can allow this kind of URL. If not than at least inform that it is not supported.
