Hi, This has probably been requested, but would it be possible to allow images to link to things other than the image file itself. Such a link is, helpful in featured pictures candidates, or when the image is being used as a thumbnail illustration in an article, but not helpful when the image is being used to illustrate a subtopic.
Not sure how best to adapt the syntax, but maybe allowing something like this:
[[Australia|[[Image:Australian flag.svg]]]]
This would leave open the possibility of having an image be part of a string that is linked.
