Hi Wikipedians,

referrer checking wouldn't be needed. This would be a very easy way to
prevent spam without preventing editing.
There seems to be a misunderstanding on my or on your side about the topic.
Elian wrote about spammers, who uploaded pics to a wm project (The pics
are now normal images like any other pictures on this project). Now they
send out spam with this images linked. Then you wrote:
Turning off external linking, if such a thing could be
made possible,
would be much more helpful than disabling images.
So I though you speaked about, only showing images, when you are "inside"
a wikimedia project. This is bad.
But if I now read your last reply, it seems you speak about external links
placed in the project. But this is not the problem.
A little bit confused, avatar :-)
