Description:
I raised an issue related to this on #wikimedia-tech in freenode earlier,
but I felt I'd put this one on bugzilla formally.
MediaWiki already has a 'restricted use' image list.
However, this only limits the use of images to a specific article, it does not
at present supress the actual display or request of images.
Therefore, I would like to request that (based on a user preference option)
MediaWiki should suppress the display and request of images that are on the
bad image list (or tagged with certain templates) in respect of [[Special:Filelist]] thumbnails, and on non Article namespace pages (such as in Categories, Templates or File Description pages).
Such a suppression should be such that as far as the client browser is concerned, the suppressed media does not exist, and is never requested.
This suppression would not affect the policy currently used in relation to
why images get placed on the restricted list, which would continue as at
present.
Thanks
