though anyway, I should probably ditch the md5()'d URL in favor of using

to commit it yet. While we're at it, are we sure we want to use $wgLang

not $wgContLang? Image description pages are
"content", not a part of

language.
Well, if you actually visit the description page on Commons, you'll see
the templates in your interface language -- that's kind of the _point_
of the autotranslated templates.
Then again, Commons is kind of a special case, since, being a
multilingual project, it doesn't _have_ a real content language; in a
technical sense its content language is English, but that's only because
MediaWiki requires one language to be specified as a content language
even if the actual content is multilingual. So I can see arguments
either way.
What language is the "shareduploadwiki-desc" message shown in, anyway?
Seems to be $wgLang, which would seem to suggest that the actual
description should be shown in the interface language too, for consistency.
