Summary: Suggestion for Mediawiki: Link Image option
Product: MediaWiki

When a person uploads a photo to an article an upload box is displayed so they
can upload the file from their computer.
My suggestion is, underneath the upload box there should be a "Link Image " box
where people can enter the embed image url.
For example, on Mariah carey's official myspace page(listed on wikipedia and on
her website), if you go here:
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=29441600&albumID=821047&imageID=251048
You will see an image Mariah Carey uploaded, and on the right hand side of the
page is a "Photo code" box with the embed url which is the following:
<a
href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=29441600&albumID=821047&imageID=251048";><img
src="http://b3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00229/35/13/229953153_m.jpg"; alt=""
/></a>
So people should be able to enter the above embed photo url code into a "link
image" box that the mediawiki software should have underneath the photo upload
box. For example:
Upload Image
OR
Link Image
Enter image link or image embed code
You should make sure the Image link feature works with Myspace photos because
most of the photos would be coming from there, so make sure when people link
the photos from Myspace that mediawiki resizes the image so it fits in the
article page.
