Images on commons: Article does not exist
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In the past was the case that when there was a image on commons, people could
find it as well by typing "image:Name.extention" in their own wiki, and got a
discriptionpage witht the image, saying the image was availeble via Wikimedia
Commons. When you type now for instance "Image:Community.gif" in en.wikipedia,
you get
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=image%3Acommunity.gif&go=OK ,
while it does exist on commons, see
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Community.gif . I think this is a bug
that entered during last updates. Some days ago the function was there i think.
Thanks

As far as I know we haven't had this; there's some special-case code for inline links
showing blue instead of red, but I don't recall anything about 'go' searches.

It'd be easy enough to add, though.

In articles, links to Commons images appear in blue, but in the history, they
appear in red.

See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kpjas#Image_Tagging_:Image:Basil_1511.jpg
, there the link to the image is blue.

See
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AKpjas&diff=53118828&oldid=53115745
where the image link is in red.

However, unlike the history function, the Deletion Log normally shows image
links in blue -- unless the image is on Commons, when the link is shown in red.
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=Fred+chessplayer&page=Image%3ABascinet2.jpg
for the deletion log where I deleted an image redundant to a Commons image. When
clicking on this link, I'd like to be taken directly to the image description
page, in this case http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Basil_1511.jpg , not (as
it is now) to the edit mode page
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Basil_1511.jpg&action=edit

I hope this made sense...

err, the image name in the example should be Image:Bascinet2.jpg consistantly
(not Basil_1511.jpg), but I think you get the point.
