Nearly every Jewish-related article, when displayed in article preview, shows Theodor Herzl with Israeli flag image as supposedly one of the article's images. This is not true. That image is not a part of an article itself. It is taken from Plik:Zionism-template.png template instead. And therefore should not be part of an article preview.
This report is specific to Jewish-related articles only, but the described (supposedly erroneous) mechanism most likely works the same for every other article. And every:
- Article that is based on template with some image when that template includes some image or
- Article that includes a template as a part of its body (like in above example) when that template includes some image
Will incorrectly display that template's image as supposedly own article's image.
Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Go to David Ben Gurion article in Polish wikipedia
- Scroll down to the third paragraph in Stosunki z Brytyjczykami chapter
- Locate the "Równocześnie Ben Gurion potajemnie wspierał Aliję Bet, pomagając tysiącom Żydów uciec z okupowanej przez nazistów Europy i dotrzeć nielegalnie do Palestyny" sentence at tap Alija Bet link in it to display article preview.
- Check the list of images in the generated article preview.
What happens?:
The Theodor Herzl with Israeli flag image is displayed as the second image.
What should have happened instead?:
The Theodor Herzl with Israeli flag should not be displayed at all. Polish https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alija_Bet Alija Bet article includes only one image and therefore only one image should be displayed in article preview.
