I experience the same problem with MW 1.5.6
I have been using [[:Image:filename.zip|description]] to get descriptions to
show up in article content -- but I see that this breaks the 'What Links
Here' section on that uploaded file's Image Page. Which I'd rather not
break because that's useful information. But seeing
Image:myfile.zip in articles is sooo ugly! :-)
Can someone confirm that this is the right behaviour for this version of MW
and whether it's been changed in recent releases?

Hi,
For some time I've been using the following syntax successfuly on
Mediawiki 1.5.x:
[[Image:document-xyz.pdf | My document XYZ]] which used to produce the
following output as a link to the "Image:" page:
My document XYZ
Now this doesn't work anymore, at least with mediawiki 1.5.6 and 1.5.7
and for the same syntax I just see this link as if no alias had been
given after the pipe:
Image:document-xyz.pdf
Is there any reason why I should observe that ? I have noticed that the
following alternative syntax works as I want it to work but I wonder if
this is the right way to do it (I added a colon at the beginning):
[[:Image:document-xyz.pdf | My document XYZ]]
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
