Summary: Clicking a commons image should immediately open the
Commons page
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: amir.ahar...@mail.huji.ac.il
A friend of mine found a significant factual mistake in an image description
and wanted to correct it. Knowing that i frequently edit Wikipedia he called
me. I told him to click the edit button and change it himself, but he couldn't
find the edit button - only a "create" button.
Nowadays on Wikimedia projects, when a user clicks an image that is hosted on
Commons, the page that is opened is a virtual page, local to that project. It
doesn't actually exist - it just shows the image. It's possible to "create" it;
but correct me if i'm wrong, but it seems completely pointless to me.
It's quite confusing to the user who wants to change its description - it would
make more sense if there would be an "edit" tab, not a "create" tab. To edit
the description the user needs to know what "Commons" is and to find the link
to the file description on Commons (which is quite different in different
projects).
