Tech:Weird behaviour of image page on en page
From Wikitravel Shared
[edit] What happens
- Visit the page en:Image talk:Somerset map.png.
- Someone entered stuff into the talk page of the image, but the image itself does not exist on en. It exists on shared.
- But the "file" link on top sends you to an edit page, not to the actual image. It is an integration issue.
[edit] When it happens
In that sequence, always.
[edit] What should happen
The "file" should take you to a page where the image can be seen.
[edit] How to fix it
Should be easy. — Ravikiran r 11:38, 2 March 2007 (EST)
- Maybe the "talk" link on the English version should redirect automatically to the shared images' talk page, if that's where the image is located? Is that even possible? – cacahuate talk 02:00, 15 July 2007 (EDT)
There is nothing stopping somebody from creating a "talk" page for a nonexistent article. You can try it yourself -- go to a talk page and change the article name to something totally bogus. If that's what happens, I don't think this is a critical issue. If, however, there is some link pointing to the bogus talk page that would encourage people to create it that's more of a problem. Anybody have any insight on this point? KevinSours 17:44, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
- True, but since we want all images on shared anyway, I think the only way to fix this, if it's even possible, is that on any given language version, clicking on a red "talk" link for an image will take you directly to shared and create the page there rather than on :en, etc... – cacahuate talk 20:18, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
