The file is:

But in the article it had been entered as "File:Menin_Gate.jpeg".

I'm not an admin, so I don't know if it was a duplicate of [[commons:File:Menin Gate.jpg]] or not, but it was deleted for lacking copyright info according to the log.
Going through the history of [[w:Menin Gate]], it looks like it has always referred to the now-deleted image, not the other one.
Presumably the software treated jpg and jpeg the same, and this changed recently.
Nope. Never has. I think there might have been a bug asking for it, but it certainly doesn't do that as of right now.
