  • [Ad templates](https://meta.codidact.com/ca) (which community ads use) don't give an image for Article type posts.
  • For example, for [this promoted post](https://languages.codidact.com/posts/277380), the image url that is used in the sidebar is https://languages.codidact.com/ca/posts/277380.png which gives a 500 server error and so appears as a dead image icon.
  • This also applies to category ad templates for categories using Article types, e.g. these also fail and give a dead image icon:
  • https://languages.codidact.com/ca/category/40.png
  • https://judaism.codidact.com/ca/category/43.png
