Description MZMcBride 2012-03-08 06:11:34 UTC
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hubble_Space_Telescope_picture_of_Betelgeuse.jpg has no local file description page. This page is presumably loading from Commons. However there's no banner saying "this file is from Wikimedia Commons".

The file was recently deleted on the English Wikipedia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=&user=&page=File%3AHubble_Space_Telescope_picture_of_Betelgeuse.jpg&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&hide_patrol_log=1&hide_review_log=1>.

Best guess: something about the file deletion failed and the files/file-related rows weren't properly deleted, but the page (from the page table) was. And now the remote (Commons) file detection is an a weird half-error state.

Does restoring and re-deleting help?

Dunno. I'm not an admin there; you are. ;-)

I tried it and got this error message:

Errors were encountered while deleting the file:

* The file "archive/b/b9/20080229035848!Hubble_Space_Telescope_picture_of_Betelgeuse.jpg" cannot be deleted, because it does not exist.
* A non-identical file already exists at mwstore://local-backend/local-deleted/0/h/1/0h10jpwy8d6unv52tln4wwjuw2a2gvo.jpg.
* A non-identical file already exists at mwstore://local-backend/local-deleted/0/h/1/0h10jpwy8d6unv52tln4wwjuw2a2gvo.jpg. 

Looks like something's messed up at the backend.

After r113412, I just deleted it. It now shows as a normal Commons file.
