Hello,
We would like some help in figuring out the quickest and easiest way to disable link
checking in the mediawiki software. By this I mean that when rendering a page, there is a
check to see if the original image exists. If it's found, a link is constructed to
the appropriate thumbnail size. If not, an upload link is constructed instead. It would
be a great help to us if someone familiar with the code could give us some info on the
best way to force it to construct the image link even if it's not there when it's
rendered. I hope this is clear enough. If not, I'll try to clarify.
The code is located in includes/Linker.php in the makeImageLinkObj and
makeImageLink2 functions. There appears to be no straightforward way
to achieve the desired function without modifying the source code.
