#Can't import images from wikimedia commons anymore.

Hi 🙂
I've made a lot of templates on my wiki, especially to use for flags.
However I've encountered an annoying issue. I can't add more templates at the moment, as the templates can't find the image I try to use.
This has become fairly problematic currently with in example Spain. On my wiki if you go it doesn't show the template of ESP, as I have coded it to, but instead just puts ''File:Flag of Spain.svg'' in red color as if the file doesn't exist. However it is a file that has existed before today, and still is there when searched for on wikimedia commons. I have loads of templates that uses images from wikimedia commons, so I can't wrap my head around what is that is going on here. I've also tried using multiple different images of the Spanish flag from wikimedia commons, but the errors keeps appearing.

Can’t post links here, but the relevant links are under user:Cqistgaard on meta.miraheze

you need to /auth with the bot (don't think it works in these threads, so do it in one of the normal channels) to be able to post any links

I use flags from Wikimedia too, lemme check

#

on first glance no problems, probably because of cache
when checking on edit

@charred gust any idea?
disabling and enabling it back doesn't fix the issue
I guess the ones which are still visible are taken from Miraheze Commons

File a task?

per macfan4000, append ?action=purge to the page url. that'll clear the page cache and the images will show up again.

#

verified it on my wiki

I've been having the same problem with my wiki lately as well, and up until now purging the page would fix the issue but now not even that seems to work :/

some files still seem to import but others don't for some reason
