Hello all,
I think we all saw them. Clickable images. Very usefull, especially on the main page etc, but there are some slight problems. You can not access the license-information without digging in the sourcecode of the page. And that might be in a template in a template etc. So that's why I am wondering:
Should it be allowed at all to make images clickable, as people cannot check the license-information?
AFAIK, these clickable images are mainly used to direct either to other Wikimedia sister projects, or to really big portals. In the first case, the logos are the property of the Wikimedia Foundation. Is there any issue with not giving the license-information?
In the second case, the images are used to direct people to pages which are symbolized by these images. I suggest the target page includes the image linking to it (classic image include, that links to the image description page). Thus, if people want to know the license-information, they have to click twice, but it's easier than to dig in templates.
