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
