It would seem the Commons image has been deleted:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Menin_Gate.jpeg&action=history

I'm not an admin, so I don't know if it was a duplicate of
[[commons:File:Menin Gate.jpg]] or not, but it was deleted
for lacking copyright info according to the log.

Going through the history of [[w:Menin Gate]], it looks like
it has always referred to the now-deleted image, not the
other one.

Nope. Never has. I think there might have been a bug asking for
it, but it certainly doesn't do that as of right now.
