Description:
The "Camera model" metadata link for https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cambuslang_Premier_Inn_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1279016.jpg
is broken, probably by angle brackets in the model name.
Version: 1.21.x
Severity: minor
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | None | T67681 EXIF support (tracking) | |||
| Open | None | T42181 Broken link parsing in EXIF Metadata for camera names like <VLUU L730 / Samsung L730> | |||
| Open | None | T30954 Normalize how EXIF data gets exported into tables (armor against wiki formatting in raw data) |
Note: This is caused by customizations done by commons in MW namespace. The issue will not be present in vanilla MediaWiki.
That said, the way we "escape" exif data could be significantly improved, which would fix this and other issues (bug 28954)
(In reply to comment #3)
P.S. I'm thinking this will likely be a wontfix.
I change my mind. Real issues should not be wontfixed...
2 possible ways forward:
*Commons changes there hack to invoke a lua module which verifies that make, model and software are linkable.
*In FormatMetadata.php we see if the value is a valid title, and if not we use a different message (Which by default could be the same as the normal message)
