Background
On January 28, 2023 the template Ficha de persona (infobox biography) was vandalised on the Spanish Wikipedia repeatedly (example; contents revdeleted). Among others, File:Handgun_collection.JPG was added to the source code of the template.
Since then, PageImages / Page-Previews is displaying that file, causing a number of reports on-wiki and elsewhere with some users feeling distressed about it.
In the meanwhile I've added the file to the on-wiki blacklist but at the time of this report this didn't solve the issue.
Looking at the mediawiki.org Extension page, it looks like the only way to purge an image from the popup is by adding/removing links to the concerned pages, but {{ficha de persona}} is used in more than 300,000 pages and as such this is not doable by hand. And since simply purging the page will not work (per mediawiki.org) running a bot to purge every page where the template is used will not help either.
Can you please assist us into fixing this issue?
Thank you.
