It'd actually be better if Google properly indexed text pages whose name ends in .jpg or whatever ... but they're aware we'd like that, so it's up to them.
Which is why my personal wiki is patched to translate the ".jpg" into "_jpg", etc. for all references to image description pages.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. How much hacking would MediaWiki on Wikimedia need for _jpg to be the default image page name and .jpg an alias for backward compatibility? That'd be really helpful in all sorts of ways
- on pretty much any website *not* running MediaWiki, something ending
".jpg" is going to be the image, not a text page.
I've created bug:19874 for this enhancement request. As it is of personal utility to me, I may also work on writing a patch, though probably not in the near term.
