In the past was the case that when there was a image on commons, people could find it as well by typing "image:Name.extention" in their own wiki, and got a discriptionpage witht the image, saying the image was availeble via Wikimedia Commons. When you type now for instance "Image:Community.gif" in en.wikipedia, you get http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=image%3Acommunity.gif&go=OK , while it does exist on commons, see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Community.gif . I think this is a bug that entered during last updates. Some days ago the function was there i think. Thanks Effeietsanders
As far as I know we haven't had this; there's some special-case code for inline links showing blue instead of red, but I don't recall anything about 'go' searches. It'd be easy enough to add, though.
In articles, links to Commons images appear in blue, but in the history, they appear in red. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kpjas#Image_Tagging_:Image:Basil_1511.jpg , there the link to the image is blue. See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AKpjas&diff=53118828&oldid=53115745 where the image link is in red. However, unlike the history function, the Deletion Log normally shows image links in blue -- unless the image is on Commons, when the link is shown in red. See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=Fred+chessplayer&page=Image%3ABascinet2.jpg for the deletion log where I deleted an image redundant to a Commons image. When clicking on this link, I'd like to be taken directly to the image description page, in this case http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Basil_1511.jpg , not (as it is now) to the edit mode page http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Basil_1511.jpg&action=edit I hope this made sense...
err, the image name in the example should be Image:Bascinet2.jpg consistantly (not Basil_1511.jpg), but I think you get the point.
