Hi,
I'am using at my local mediawiki the InstantCommons feature
$wgUseInstantCommons = true;
So when I use
[[File:Box-Plot mit Interquartilsabstand.png|thumb|Box-Plot mit Whiskern der Länge 1,5×IQR]]
the graphics is displayed correctly. Since my wiki uses german as basic language, I use also the german terms:
[[Datei:Box-Plot mit Min-Max Abstand.png|miniatur|Box-Plot derselben Daten mit Whiskern vom Minimum bis zum Maximum der Daten]]
But this does not display the picture from commons, but a red link instead.
Any suggestions what to do?
Thanks in advance

Hi Sigbert,
Please link to the wiki in question. As what you describe should be working fine on a German wiki.
MediaWiki abstracts namespaces into numbers internally so whether you use the canonical "File" or the namespace name in the content language (eg. "german") will not make a difference.
One question though: Are you sure your wiki is set to 'german' ? Or is it technically still an English MediaWiki with German-content ?
You can verify by checking the LocalSettings.php configuration file and looking for $wgLanguageCode (which represents the "site language").
Note that this is seperate from the "user language" you can choose from Special:Preferences.
The Wiki-syntax accepts canonical input and site language input.
If $wgLanguageCode is indeed set to 'de', please include a link to the wiki in your reply. If the wiki is not public, make sure to include the following data from the "Special:Version" page: * Installed software ** MediaWiki version ** PHP version ** Database system and version
