Description

On the file page, the repository's description, website link, topics list, and statistics bar should be gone to make space for the actual file. For example, this is what I expect when I'm linked a license file to read (this was edited/not how it looks like):

Instead, my screen is mostly filled with generic info on the repository that I expect on its main page, not when I'm trying to look at a file of which I can just see a single line of its content:

Oh and I forgot to mention, GitHub does this too. So it's not just some weird idea I came up with myself.
