Well, testing it maxed out my computer's RAM twice (which was the entire reason I had put it off--I'd been thinking of testing it myself when I previously posted)... regardless of the existence of another page it's used on, files that are linked on their own file page (when that's the logic the page is using for where to send it) go to the main page lightbox method. Curiosity abated! (Even if it almost killed the cat.)

The "astute 12 year old" thing (that is, a 12 year old who knows how and needs for some reason to access the file page) was specifically trying to note an issue with "just log in"; since it's against the TOS (and the law, because of how Wikia collects information) for the 12 year old to have an account, that's one of a couple valid use cases where it's entirely reasonable to need to access the file page directly while logged out. But it simply can't be done in any way, shape, or form. I think that's foolish is all.

I'm calling out that there's no workaround for when the stated workaround is not possible, attempting to poke holes in something four months late, if you will. XP
