Okay! But I can access Phab normally and use its functionalities. Just the images don't display.

@D3r1ck01 though you could be affected by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/363264/ which blocks accessing uploads.

Ohh I see. That makes much sense now. Will this be removed or uplifted in the nearest future?

That will be like that for the future as wikipedia zero should not be able to access pabricator's upload feature due to spam. Though i am wondering can we do workaround for users. So that we can have a whitelist.

@Paladox, It would be good to have workaround. So how does someone know he/she is using Wikipedia Zero to upload because I pay for my internet services to access phabricator. Is there something I don't know?

The restriction itself: After abuse of Wikimedia Phabricator as a platform to share content uploaded and accessed via WP0, we have been discussing potential measures for some time.
What you currently see is the compromise: no files/images displayed when using WP0, but all other functionality available.
So "Phabricator images don't display on WP0" is a "will not fix" currently. Hence proposing to close this task as "declined".
If you know a better compromise after investigation of all technical possibilities that we are not aware of, please let us know. (We won't create and maintain some manual list of users who can upload via WP0 as it's not technical feasible. For other approaches already discussed, see T168142.)
Awareness of the restriction: If I get your last comment correctly, you expect some way to let the user know why images are missing. That would require rephrasing / changing the scope of this task though.

What about if we blocked /file/upload/ instead of /file/data? That way images will still show but no one in WP0 will be able to upload the images.

Yes I think that's better. I wouldn't love seeing images not displaying. @Paladox, that's a better idea \o/.
