When the description page for an image, that is present (i.e. has not been deleted), is a redirect and a user displays it, he gets redirected to the proper page, but at the top of the page, the image is displayed just as if the target page was a description page itself (while it may be not). (See http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gnu-main.jpg ) This might be a feature, not a bug, but I consider it at least surprising that clicking on an image could lead to another page with the image displayed on top without any marking.
Confirmed in HEAD
I just added Bug #1103, which describes the same problem in reverse. I guess it's the same problem that causes the behaviour described in both bug reports: the image name is determined from the query-url *before* the redirect is resolved. But the *effective* page name should be used to find the image file.
This is the same basic problem as with categories (bug 710); the redirect doesn't start over fresh with a new Article (or subclass) instance, but hacks some of the data in the current one.
I have added a simple patch to bug 710, that will probably solve this one too.
bug 710 is on it's way to get fixed. Need to have a close look at images now.
This would have been fixed by changes last monthish.

The example from comment #7 did not correspond to comment 0. I think this bug should be confusing because behaviour is very iritating. Problem: Image A is present and image B is present and A redirects to B. A = http://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Smile_icon.png&redirect=no B = http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Smiley.png *but* the description page of A shows the desctiption page of B http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Redirect_to_Smiley.png This is basicaly what a redirect is. However '(Redirected from Image:Redirect to Smiley.png)' could be more precise about the existence of Media:Redirect to Smiley.png (*Media*). *also* http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gangleri/tests/bugzilla/02757 contains [[image:Smile icon.png|right|150px|conflict ;-)]] where image:Smile icon.png redirects to image:Smiley.png Please comment / let us know your opinion if this should be improuved. Please reopen a separate bug if necessary. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
