Description Gary Houston 2012-09-12 09:13:37 UTC
The "Camera model" metadata link for https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cambuslang_Premier_Inn_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1279016.jpg
is broken, probably by angle brackets in the model name.
Comment 1 Dereckson 2012-09-12 10:01:56 UTC
[ Confirming bug. Setting component. Severity: minor ]
Comment 2 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2012-09-12 16:42:54 UTC
Note: This is caused by customizations done by commons in MW namespace. The issue will not be present in vanilla MediaWiki.

That said, the way we "escape" exif data could be significantly improved, which would fix this and other issues (bug 28954)
Comment 3 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2012-11-22 23:03:39 UTC
P.S. I'm thinking this will likely be a wontfix.

I change my mind. Real issues should not be wontfixed...

2 possible ways forward:
*Commons changes there hack to invoke a lua module which verifies that make, model and software are linkable.
*In FormatMetadata.php we see if the value is a valid title, and if not we use a different message (Which by default could be the same as the normal message)
