Wikimedia Commons file names

Issue #13 new
Andy Mabbett created an issue

For, say:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2_Bridge_Street,Pembridge-geograph.org.uk-_1105508.jpg

WikiShootMe displays a pop-up captioned:

2 Bridge Street, Pembridge - geograph.org.uk - 1105508

(note absence of file extension)

If I copy the former URL or the latter text, and paste into the "Commons file name" field of the pop-up for the item:

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q26357386

I get a "ERROR: FILE DOES NOT EXIST ON COMMONS" error.

Might I suggest:

1) Make the caption for the image pop-up show the full file name (i.e.

2 Bridge Street, Pembridge - geograph.org.uk - 1105508.jpg

in this case)

2) Accept pasted Wikimedia Commons URLs for images

3) Better, both
