Links to media- or dokuwiki pages are broken when using markdown syntax and turn out empty, probably due to the ":" namespace separator.

Reproduce Example:

markdown in description field:

[Odyssey](​https://apollo.open-resource.org/mission:tech:odyssey)

turns into:

<p><a href="">Odyssey</a> </p>

As there currently is no other way to place links for more information, I would consider it a major defect :)

To make decorators nicer, MediaGoblin has a tiny tool called _make_safe() in decorators.py.

But what this helper tool does, is actually in the standard library!

It's called functools.update_wrapper (1) There's also a nicer version called functools.wraps (2)

So replace all instances of _make_safe by one of those two.

Currently they are different for all media types:

• Download section for audio
• "Original" link for video
• Link on image for images
