Well, you can do the odd interwiki-redirect hack: 1) add an interwiki alias for the site you want to link to (see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Setting_up_interwiki_linking) 2) edit the image's description page to read "#redirect [[<site>:<page>]]", where <site> is the interwiki prefix you created, and <page> is the page within that site. This not only makes the image description (which would otherwise include things like licensing or authorship information) inacessible, but is something of a security/vandalism flaw (consider "#redirect [[Google:goatse]]", or even an interwiki prefix pointing to the google cache of a page...). If I get round to it, I intend to submit a patch that limits interwiki-redirects to those prefixes labelled as "local" in the database. The other alternative is to play with my unfinished (and untested on newer versions) patch for adding a target to the image syntax. See http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539 for the patch, and the considerations that it doesn't yet address; looking back, I see I never got external links working, but this shouldn't be too hard to address. -- Rowan Collins BSc [IMSoP]

I forget to say that the image is an internal image that should link to an external site. I've tried different solution but nothing to do. Giovanni
