(See e.g. today's Commons POTD <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ehrenstetten_-_%C3%96lbergkapelle6.jpg#/media/File:Ehrenstetten_-_%C3%96lbergkapelle6.jpg>, unless you're logged into an account that has the feature disabled.) On viewing the image/media file, users can click the "share" icon, then pick "embed", and they get an HTML response contains the uploader account name (with link), the licence name (with link), and a link to the media file's page on wiki. This feature could be more visible (at some cost to reader experience), but it's there. Hope this helps. J. -- James D.
