is it possible to use a picture from one wiki in an

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...
