A potential problem. When using  tag to display non image file (i.e. videos, the documentation actually recommend it), the resulting thumbnail links into another thumbnail image (just look at the   enclosing it). This is different to the usual wiki markup that link the thumbnail into the file page, which imo a safer approach when the client somehow block scripts that open the modal.

Using wiki markup should resolve this issue. But would be nice if this is incorporated into feature.

It made me frustrated when a user brought this issue and atm I had no idea what actually went wrong. :)

 * Actually I think the thumbnail should link into the file page for every case, including for images. Just like plain mediawiki. This way, if modal didn't show up, users could be brought into file page instead of another thumbnail. Anyway is there any reason for it to link into a thumbnail as is now?
