What's the status for the idea to adapt the MW platform for using media
from Commons in ("live") image links?
I recall an idea being discussed earlier was to cache pictures on the
calling MW site after the first fetch from Commons. The idea was to try
to avoid wasting bandwidth by providing a means for external sites to
not having to repeatedly retrieving the same picture several times.
What's the current status of this idea? Or is it already possible (and
allowed) to retrieve images from Commons via "live links"?
