Depending on the interface language chosen in preferences, Metadata for images contain inconsistent, partially incorrect links. Example: If chosen interface language is English, "Camera manufacturer" and "Camera model" link to the respective articles on en.wikipedia. If, on the other hand, German is chosen, "Camera model" links nowhere and "Camera manufacturer" links to a non-existent (and incorrectly named) category "Kategorie:Camera:Canon".
Please link to an example.
Example: any picture containing Metadata. Here is one uploaded 5 minutes ago: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Panthera_tigris_Aus_Zoo_Aug06.JPG
I think that http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Exif-make-value/de is the problem – it should contain an interwiki link, like the three English messages: * http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Exif-make-value * http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Exif-model-value * http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Exif-software-value It's not a bug in the software.
Yeah, that seems to be it. Maybe even two interwiki links (German and English) as in * http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Exif-make-value/sv It's alocalization bug then. Should these not be eported here?
Only bugs in the MediaWiki software (or bugs in the extensions, or bugs in Wikimedia sites *which can be solved only by those with shell access*, like installing of extensions or changing site settings) should be reported here. The default MediaWiki package does not contain such interwiki links – they are exist only in Commons, and created by Commons admins. Therefore, please talk to a Commons admin to change it.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Exif-make-value/de edited. You can propose these kind of changes in the MediaWiki namespane at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Forum (german) or http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village pump (english)
Thanks a lot.
