Hi, There appears to be a change in the way en wikipedia handles the image: page of an image that's hosted on commons.
Until very recently (today?) viewing such an image page showed the "this page does not exist" stuff, but did contain a link to the corresponding image page on commons. Now the text "This file is a shared upload and may be used by other projects." appears, and there's no link to the commons page.
As one can't easily see the source or licence info for a commons image anymore (cut'n'paste is required now), this is somewhat suboptimal.

I don't think so. E.g. at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:W_A_Mozart_at_34c.jpg, I see "This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. Please see its description page there" (with proper hyperlinks).
The message is stored at [[MediaWiki:Sharedupload]], where admins can modify it, but no one has modified it since 21:15, 14 Mar 2005. You might have experienced a problem with overloaded servers, which sometimes causes the interface languages to go from LanguageXx.php instead of MediaWiki: namespace.
