--- Comment #1 from Brion Vibber <[email protected]> 2011-04-11 17:06:01 UTC --- I'm not sure there's not much benefit to using $wgFileExtensions; $wgFileExtensions controls what you can locally upload so that it can be verified, managed, rendered into thumbnails, etc. None of that happens with external images -- they're just put into an <img> so there's no interpretation or rendering that would depend on the file type. We don't even get a chance to control the image's size... :( I'd actually rather drop $wgAllowExternalImages entirely and replace it, if it's needed, with a smarter way of dealing with externally sourced images; guessing imageness from URLs has never been safe or complete to begin with. Legit use of externally-referenced images is probably better off being done as some sort of extension that lets you explicitly size, place, and caption them. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
