The solution
is to add the below to LocalSettings.php on the source wiki:
$wgUploadBaseUrl=$wgServer;
This adds the proper scr= attribute to the <img> tag which means that
the transcluded article also pulls through the image.
Make sure you also set the following on the local wiki:
$wgAllowExternalImages = true;
$wgEnableScaryTranscluding = true;
So no $wgSharedUploadXXX configuration or NFS configuration is
necessary at all.
Allowing all external images is rather overkill. If you just want
images from one other wiki, shareduploads seems like your best bet.
Since it's an internal wiki you're talking about, turning on external
images is ok, but it isn't generally a good idea on publicly editable
wikis.
But in order to use shareduploads I have to create a NFS connection to
the public (remote) wiki, that's at least the suggestion from previous
comments on this thread. And NFS seems overkill if all I want is to
transclude articles.
In my case, I will actually work on getting NFS to work anyway,
because I think there is a value add in enabling this feature between
the two wikis. but it's not a necessity and if it is going to be too
much of a hassle, I will leave it.
