Description David Benbennick 2006-03-31 18:39:17 UTC 
I noticed today that Google now indexes image description pages (see
http://www.google.com/search?q=petersen+graph+site%3Acommons.wikimedia.org). 
Unfortunately, Google Images still doesn't find anything useful (see
http://images.google.com/images?q=petersen%20graph%20site%3Acommons.wikimedia.org).
 I suspect the problem might be that on image description pages, the actual
<img> tag has no useful attributes.  Perhaps if the "title" attribute is set to
the image's title, that will encourage better search engine indexing.
Comment 1 Raimond Spekking 2007-09-13 07:25:35 UTC 
With r25335 Tim set the title attribute for the <a> tag to the imagename, when a caption was not given by the user. Should we do this for the image description page too?

At the moment the rendered HTML looks like:

<a href="/wikitest/images/d/d3/imagename.jpg">
<img alt="Image:Imagename.jpg" src="/wikitest/images/thumb/d/d3/Imagename.jpg/1024px-Imagename.jpg" border="0" height="223" width="1024">
</a>

It seems that both Bing and Google find plenty of relevant image results now. I don't think this bug is still an issue. We might consider closing it ?
