Distributed game for taxons is causing lots of bad edits

Issue #230 new
Former user created an issue

The distributed game for taxons is generating lots of incorrect image claims on Wikidata, for example, https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q1307522&type=revision&diff=421351945&oldid=415473342. If you play it for a minute or two, it becomes obvious why. For pretty much any taxon, no matter how obscure, there is at least one wiki that has an article for it that has a navigation template featuring an image of a related organism. For example, https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvethymus_svetovidovi doesn't have a real image in the infobox, but if you scroll down it has two images of salmon in the navigation box. These images are then suggested by the distributed game (without any context). The game either needs to filter out all images in navigation templates or it should be removed entirely, as it is causing too many bad edits.
