bug #6329
openimprove display of media sources and annotations
100%
Description
follow up of #6301
The sources and annotations are displayed differently in the image gallery and media page.
A. Gallery¶
- Sources and annotations should be display as footnotes below the whole gallery. Footnotes should be de-duplicated. This however is currently not possible since the media captions are loaded via AJAX one after another. To make this possible a new ajax mechanism is needed which loads the captions for all media in a gallery in one request and that also includes the footnotes.
B. Media Page¶
- On media pages the sources should be shown as ordinary attributes, not as footnotes (this is already implemented as far as I can see, only remainging issue: use "Source(s)" instead of "Sources". ---> #6316

I don't understand why the captions are relevant here sources and annotations are not dependent on the captions and the captions will not hold any information that needs footnotes/annotations. So all the information can be computed without AJAX here.
But probably I am missing something.

The method and related stuff is named media_caption. This is for historical reasons and could be changed if really needed. I was referring to that term even if it is a bit confusing to ease find the according function in the code.
