Over the years while editing on Commons, I run several times into lock
down pages that can't be edited. The issue is that after the page was
created the website listed as the image source was added to the list of
blocked sites by the spam filter as blacklisted external site. As a
result unless someone delete valid source the image cannot be
categorized or altered in any way. See for example
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Masopust_dr%C5%BE%C3%ADme_14.jpg
.
There were several discussions about it on Commons and I filed a bug
report
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55794 . But still
the common practice is to somehow disable the link like in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AMasopust_dr%C5%BE
%C3%ADme_07.jpg&diff=107220155&oldid=102671143
Is there a better way to deal with such files?
