Description:
When using the '|link=' option within [[File:]] the 'image' class is not applied to the <a> attribute.

This makes it difficult to style the output with CSS.

Please can a class be added to the <a> attribute for images in all cases.

If class 'image' is deemed inappropriate, then perhaps 'imageLink' could be used?

Example with class:

WIKITEXT:
[[File:filename.jpg]]
HTML:
<a href="/wikipath/index.php/File:filename.jpg" class="image">
    <img alt="filename.jpg" src="/wikipath/images/da/da/filename.jpg" ...etc />
</a>

Example without class:

WIKITEXT:
[[File:filename.jpg|link=http://wikimedia.org]]
HTML:
<a href="http://wikimedia.org">
    <img alt="filename.jpg" src="/wikipath/images/da/da/filename.jpg" ...etc />
</a>

Footnote:
Bug T25226 would be useful to have also, but in addition to the default class that should be there per above.
