Splitting off from bug 32551. Occasionally an upload succeeds without a description page being created. Its unclear what circumstances this happens. Possibly an error connecting to externalstorage causes an exception to be thrown, or something of that nature. There is a list at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ilmari_Karonen/Queries/Zombie_images As of this writing, some examples: [[File:Jersey, Corbiere Lighthouse by moonlight, Channel Islands-LCCN2002696513.tif]], [[File:Palais de Justice and bridge to exchange, Paris, France-LCCN2001698506.jpg]] [[File:Château du Martinet - façade nord.JPG]] is missing log entries, but the page is fine. Most of the examples seem to be from gwtoolset. I expect that to just be coincidence though (I'm going to consider bug 32551 to be about the referential integrity issues where people couldn't create the pages due to missing revisions, and this to be about the larger issue where sometimes pages aren't created)
