For around 2 weeks to a month, the image galleries are redirecting all attempts at opening any image in a new tab back to the gallery items' respective parent page. This problem seems to universal across every Wiki I have visited, whether it is for the DC or Marvel comics, the Star Wars franchise or one chosen at random.

Steps to reproduce the problem.

1.) Go to the gallery link on https:&#47;/starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Luke_Skywalker/Legends or directly to https:&#47;/starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Images_of_Luke_Skywalker

2.) Try right click opening the "File:10 Episode 4.jpg" (https:&#47;/starwars.fandom.com/wiki/File:10_Episode_4.jpg) using the "Open Link in New Tab" option. (It will redirect any attempt to "https:&#47;/starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Episode_IV:_A_New_Hope_(novel)", but you can try this with any image gallery link on a Wiki of your choice)

3.) Where as opening a link such as "https:&#47;/vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/d/d9/Luke-rotjpromo.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20091030151422" works just fine without any complications.

Please speak to whoever is in charge of redirects or the back-end database and find a way to fix this issue, it is extremly inconvenient and I'm sure other Wiki walkers must feel the same.
