Thread:Project:Support desk/Images red link use size instead of filename

I searched about it before starting this, but i can't find any explanation why when an image doesn't exist on the wiki yet and the code specifiy a size for it, the text of the red link to upload it become something like "100px" or "32px". I wasn't doing this in previous version of the software...

Exemple, i have a template that construct the filename based on the pagename like this : It result in a 32px red link instead of the name of the file. I think that users will be confused and don't understand what file to upload. Maybe there isn't many wikis that like having red links to files before they gets uploaded, but i have an history on gamming wikis where it's the way we do things. On thoses, most pages have an infobox with an image (or two) that the creator of the page dont necessarly have at had with creating the page. And i have an history with french wikis where the contributors number is really low and where passing by users dont know wikis much, and a 180px red link wont tell them they can upload a picture of... the thing wich the page is talking about.

Why im telling all this is because i went to several others wikis to test this an it produce the same result so for me it's the software that one day becamed a tad silly about this. I think most people didn't see this as been bad in any way because they might be uploading their images by the name they want and filling in that information into the infobox instead of having the template auto generating link and uploading later or letter other upload later. I'm also aware that on some wikis the infoboxes show a temporary image instead, but i dont like it much. I think it's harder on the wiki to use "#ifexist:" on the constructed filename. Ok, that is because i insist on having the name of the file autoconstructed, for me it's just logical. I can explain why more lenghtly if needed.

Thanks.
