This page contains an image that links to a normal page rather than the "Image:ImageName" page.

How is that done in normal wiki-text? Is it something special to that wiki or can the same effect be achieved on en.wikipedia.org ?
Many thanks.

This can't be done on Wikimedia sites other than the Foundation wiki. That wiki has closed access, so is able to allow arbitrary HTML, since only trusted users can edit there. On an open wiki, this wouldn't be safe, so there is currently no way of linking an image to an actual page.

Have you tried editing the image description page to redirect to the normal page?
I seem to remember such a trick was used on en.wikibooks.org on the Main Page a few designs ago.
