BTW, the new software does not display the image (data) at the image:namespace (metadata container)...If copyright and attribution and other such information (metadata) is going to be in the image's image: page then it is only logical to have the image (data) there too by default.
If an author wants it there, he's free to put it there. But that's his choice. He might put a larger version of the image instead, or multiple versions, or just links, or just text. The software should make it easy for authors to do what they want, but it shouldn't restrict their choices or usurp their authority. Automatically repeating the image on the description page seemed too automatic for my taste.
There /is/ a link to the image at the top of the page. 0

When I was testing it out I couldn't find it... I uploaded an image and then couldn't find any way to preview it, and I wasn't at all sure how to link it into an article. Maybe that's just me... I'm pretty technically ignorant and if it's not obvious I won't spot it.
