Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. How much hacking would MediaWiki on Wikimedia need
for _jpg to be the default image page name and .jpg an alias for
backward compatibility? That'd be really helpful in all sorts of ways
- on pretty much any website *not* running MediaWiki, something ending
".jpg" is going to be the image, not a text page.
