The ImageMap extension isn't coded to use external links. Only internal ones. If you want to do something like that you'll half to request that as a new feature and have someone code it into the extension. ~Daniel Friesen of The Gaiapedia and Wikia Graphical Entertainment Project Brianna Laugher wrote:

It is coded for external links - the problem was my LocalSettings.php set $wgImageMapAllowExternalLinks = true; (as instructed) But the extension sets this to false in ImageMap.php! Just goes to show I should have looked at the source files myself. Perhaps this needs to be noted in the installation instructions?
