Hello,

Untill 12 months (or so) ago our wikis, like http://middelburgdronk.nl/ were indexed just fine by Google and other search engines. Especially the indexing of the historical pictures worked very good. But then suddenly something changed and I just can't figure out what. All (20K) images are still indexed, but only the thumbnails. E.g: https://www.google.nl/search?q=Ringrijders+op+de+Markt+in+Middelburg,+juli+1963.+Op+de+achtergrond+het+gebouw+van+soci%C3%ABteit+De+Vergenoeging.&safe=off&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAWoVChMI9vTK8YHNxwIVyD7bCh1k5win&biw=1600&bih=731#imgrc=xvkTH9qMLPIimM%3A, while we would like Google c.s. to find this: http://middelburgdronk.nl/wiki/Bestand:Ringrijders_Markt_Middelburg_juli_1963.PNG

I'm not the technical admin, but still: the main content manager. Does anyone here knows what prevents the crawlers from indexing the uploaded images themselves? Thanks in advance!

MediaWiki	1.22.2
PHP	5.4.44-1+deb.sury.org~precise+1 (fpm-fcgi)
MySQL	5.5.44-0ubuntu0.12.04.1

Your robots.txt file is looking good.

This may be a problem of how google rank those full-sized images because being 2-click-away from where are they used. See task T54647 where this problem is discussed.

Thanks!
