Help talk:File description pages

Page name
Wouldn't it make more sense for this page to be named "file description page"? Not only images have description pages. -- Cube - shaped   garbage can  22:08, October 28, 2017 (UTC)


 * What else includes files? PDFs? videos? &mdash; MechQueste  talk  22:36, October 28, 2017 (UTC)


 * Audio files, fonts and PDFs, videos are handled differently but since they have a description page I guess you could include them there as well. -- Cube - shaped   garbage can  22:40, October 28, 2017 (UTC)
 * Help:File description page is redirected to Help:Image description page, you'd need an admin to flip these two pages ending up with the image description redirected to the file description help page. – Dunnoob &#x1F4A9;  13:56, October 29, 2017 (UTC)

File description pages no longer accessible
As of the end of July 2022 attempting to access a file description page directly using a URL simply redirects you to one of the articles pages the image is posted in. Same deal when interacting with "More Info" button in the lightbox, which used to be able to link to the file description page.

What is Fandom up to this time? If they're getting rid of access to image history, it's a terrible decision that's too easy to abuse. - 124.13.166.119 14:42, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * It only affects to the anonymous users. If you have an account, you can view the file's description page. This is how Fandom works. — Bar an ☪︎  21:31, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright. Thanks for the explanation. - 124.13.166.119 18:21, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
