Media: links are mishandled in some cases. I'll use eg. File:Glottal stop.ogg from Commons: 1) Type Media:Glottal stop.ogg into search box on any wiki. It will take you to the bage with URL /wiki/Media:Glottal stop.ogg, but the headline says File:Glottal stop.ogg and that it does not exist, do you want to upload new? 2) Type [[File:Loudspeaker.svg|10px|link=Media:Glottal stop.ogg|pronunciation]] in Sandbox. Clicking the icon-link will take you to the same page with the same behavior as described in 1).

Checked that https://commons.wikimedia.org/File:Glottal_stop.ogg still exists. 2. Went to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki 3. In the search field in the upper corner, I entered Media:Glottal stop.ogg and pressed the Enter key 4. I end up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Glottal_stop.ogg -> Probably fixed in the meantime.
Obviously not, but yet worse. The Media:Foo.ogg/jpeg/gif/etc... link is supposed to take you directly to the media file, but not to the File page. So now the "Media" namespace behaves exactly like "File", which is incorrect. Seems somebody added Media as an alias to File?
