For the image parsing, the function linkedPages(withImageLinks = True)
used to provide images that were not included through templates, while
imageLinks would provide all the images. In core, the linkedPages
function no longer provides this capability, and I haven't found any
replacement

@droid: you should write a functionality that gets a wikitext and extract all links in it and add a prameter like withimages=True, or namespace=[a bunch of namespaces] (which I prefer the latter)
The issue happened when the method is changed internally and the output is being obtained through API instead of content parsing.
BasePage.imagelinks() was introduced with core.
