Hola la todos.
I think I do not say nothing new:
Most files are under a free license or FUR either of which requires
attribution.
I'm omitting existing of Media Viewer - it's not important in the case.
When we use file like [[File:Example.jpeg]] (with size, position, alt
and so on perhaps) the attribution requirement is fulfilled by the fact
that the file is being a link to it's description page where all credits
are to be seen.
But we can use it like [[File:Example.jpeg|link=]] or
[[File:Example.jpeg|link=Some page]] which would suppress or substitute
the link with another link. We can also use images via css or scripts
for some backgrounds and so on which is not about the link-parameter but
has the same issue in core.
The question is how attribution requirement is being fulfilled in the
latter case?
What is general community consensus and WMF position upon it?
I'm sure that I'm not the first wikimedian who notices that thing so the
answer should lie on some surface just I don't know where to look for it
so I'm asking it in here. This is also not so uncommon and too rare
usage to be ignored, I'm sure of it.
I'm looking forward for any answers/comments.
Yours,
Base
