Currently, the wikitext embed URL is non-localized; e.g.
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoofdpagina#mediaviewer/Bestand:Chicago_Board_Of_Trade_Building.jpg
shows the following embed code:
[[File:Chicago_Board_Of_Trade_Building.jpg|thumb|Chicago Board Of Trade Building]]
while the localized version
[[Bestand:Chicago_Board_Of_Trade_Building.jpg|thumb|Chicago Board Of Trade Building]]
would make much more sense.
Version: master
Severity: normal
The thumb keyword can also be localized, although I'm not sure how to access it in JS (the namespaces are stored in a config variable so that should be easy - this should probably be added to mw.Title).

Per Erik on multimedia list, it's enough to follow content language, as we do for UploadWizard ("File") and the editing toolbar.

Those are not relevant examples: the editing toolbar is not used cross-wiki, and UploadWizard is (almost) only used on Commons, where the canonical and the contentlang namespace name is the same.

I'm confused. What changed since the multimedia list discussion?
Nothing. I had doubts after submitting this patch so I started a mailing list thread about it; there was no consensus (nor much interest, really) so no reason not to merge (except it got forgotten for a while).
I'll leave the bug open for a while longer; if there are many complaints, I'll try the {{ns}} hack.
When there is no consensus, you should follow standards. That is, wiki content language. Whatever. Here's the link I mentioned above. http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/multimedia/2014-May/000403.html
Mass-removing the Multimedia tag from MediaViewer tasks, as this is now being worked on by the Reading department, not Editing's Multimedia team.
Declined per T124354. There is no consensus for this change yet. Please reopen the task if consensus reached.
This is not a configuration change, please don't use the Community-consensus-needed tag.
The previous comments don't explain who or what (task?) exactly this task is stalled on ("If a report is waiting for further input (e.g. from its reporter or a third party) and can currently not be acted on"). Hence resetting task status, as tasks should not be stalled (and then potentially forgotten) for years for unclear reasons.
