is it possible to use a picture from one wiki in an article from the other wiki? i think it should, because wikicommons is working fine, but how? or what should i do?
The way the Wikimedia Commons works is by using a new "shared upload" feature - take a look at the comments in includes/DefaultSettings.php for how to set it up.
The other way of including images from elsewhere would be to use the feature ($wgAllowExternalImages I think) which turns URLs to image files into inline images. But that's kind of a dodgy setting on a popular wiki, as it's rather easy to abuse for vandalism, copyright violation, bandwidth theft, etc...
