where are these strange image icons coming from ?
Seems like an issue with the Editor ?


see this test message:

I copied the text directly from Wikipedia.

Using Windows 8.1 and FireFox 25.0.1

Those are images for which hotlinking has been prohibited.

hmm... but the images are actually indeed showing up.
If it would be images for which hotlinking is prohibited, I guess the images would not show at all ?

It is just some additional icon for the same image which is actually showing up. It is the same URL-Link for both the image which is showing up and for the strange image-icon.

Isn't it because this links AREN'T images? They look like images because of the .jpg ending, but e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Del_Rey_2012.jpg links to a html page

In this case it is an invalid image URL.

[erich37]

is it because of the "File:" in the URL ?

it seems all image-URLs in Wikipedia look like this... ?





It is a long time ago since I came across this, but I think I remember that I copied the text and images from this page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lana_Del_Rey

Ultimately this is just a formatting/source content issue.

Just format the content correctly and you won't see those errors.

The image link on that page actually links to another HTML page, even though the URL looks like that of an image file. You can tell because if you visit the link you can see not just the image but text as well

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lana_Del_Ray_at_the_Echo_music_award_2013.jpg

The actual URL for the image file is
