A related problem is that Google does not index the commons. Well,
more or less. It is basically impossible to find any commons content

unbelievable and appalling on Google's behalf. Does anyone else
think we should, um, make them aware of this? pfctdayelise 13:26, 16

It is rather annoying. I have a wiki wit a large amount of images too
and description on the "Image:" pages.
I thought about hacking mediawiki so that it changes the Image:*.jpg
to something else, without having to change any wiki text.
I don't think google will fix their bot soon, this has been broken for
ages.
