I'm running the tool algo-news and I discovered that this image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Odin_lloyd.jpg Is indicated as a free image in the API: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&prop= pageprops&action=query&redirects=1&pageids=39787564
Should I report this as a bug?
That feature uses the presence of a particular hidden <span> in the HTML of the page to determine non-freeness. On that particular image, the license template was missing that span,[1] and it also didn't use the standard non-free use rationale template[2] which also would have added the needed span.
Then null edits to the image and the page fixed things up.
