Template:External image

External image: URL of the image

WARNING: MediaWiki doesn't have very good support for external images.

Furthermore, since external images can break, we recommend that you replace the above with a local copy of the image.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template controls the appearance of references to external images which are currently not well supported in MediaWiki. The feature is therefore deactivated.

Usage

Use it like this:

{{External image|URL=complete-URL-of-image}}

This causes a box on the wiki page the automatic addition in Category:IMPORTDEBUG - Change External Images for later access. So after a local copy was uploaded, the image can be embedded easily.
