Description Mormegil 2004-10-26 16:12:29 UTC

When the description page for an image, that is present
(i.e. has not been deleted), is a redirect and a user displays it,
he gets redirected to the proper page, but at the top of the page,
the image is displayed just as if the target page was a description
page itself (while it may be not).

(See http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gnu-main.jpg )

This might be a feature, not a bug, but I consider it at least
surprising that clicking on an image could lead to another page with
the image displayed on top without any marking.

Comment 1 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2004-10-27 23:37:57 UTC

Confirmed in HEAD

Comment 2 Daniel Kinzler 2004-12-15 00:19:04 UTC

I just added Bug #1103, which describes the same problem in reverse. I guess
it's the same problem that causes the behaviour described in both bug reports:
the image name is determined from the query-url *before* the redirect is
resolved. But the *effective* page name should be used to find the image file.

Comment 3 Brion Vibber 2004-12-15 00:33:33 UTC

This is the same basic problem as with categories (bug 710); the redirect doesn't 
start over fresh with a new Article (or subclass) instance, but hacks some of the data 
in the current one.

Comment 4 Jeroen Roos 2005-05-24 09:04:58 UTC

I have added a simple patch to bug 710, that will probably solve this one too.

Comment 5 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2005-08-11 05:31:28 UTC

bug 710 is on it's way to get fixed. Need to have a close look at images now.

Comment 6 Brion Vibber 2006-02-05 18:46:04 UTC

This would have been fixed by changes last monthish.

Comment 7 lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2006-02-05 20:15:40 UTC

Changing url (from the old 'test:' wiki)
http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gnu-main.jpg
to
http://yi.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=pruv.png

Comment 8 lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2006-02-12 12:57:04 UTC

The example from comment #7 did not correspond to comment 0.

I think this bug should be confusing because behaviour is very iritating.

Problem:
Image A is present and image B is present and A redirects to B.

A = http://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Smile_icon.png&redirect=no
B = http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Smiley.png

*but*
the description page of A shows the desctiption page of B
http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Redirect_to_Smiley.png
This is basicaly what a redirect is.

However '(Redirected from Image:Redirect to Smiley.png)' could be more precise
about the existence of Media:Redirect to Smiley.png (*Media*).

*also*
http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gangleri/tests/bugzilla/02757
contains
[[image:Smile icon.png|right|150px|conflict ;-)]] where image:Smile icon.png
redirects to image:Smiley.png

Please comment / let us know your opinion if this should be improuved.
Please reopen a separate bug if necessary.
