I remember there being talk some time ago about creating an Image namespace which I think would solve this problem nicely... this could also eliminate having to type http://www.wikipedia.com/upload/blah_blah_blah.png, which is not very user friendly. But make sure doing this doesn't break the non-English wikipedias!

Also, pages aren't updating from [Link]? to working links when I create the pages.
E.g. I made the [[tobacco industry]] link on the Cigarette entry, then made the Tobacco industry page, but the Cigarette entry still displays [tobacco industry]?.

I noticed that - it's WIERD! If you follow a newly created link or redirect like that it takes you to an edit screen for the entry, with the text you just added on it. I guess it's something to do with caching?

Also, I deleted a couple of pages that were listed on the votes-for-deletion page and afterward the links leading to them still showed them as "existing" pages rather than links to the editing page.

As noted in http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/wikipedia:Bug+reports/Editing this is now fixed in CVS. (Two one-character typos, which were hidden from execution and thus never found and fixed during the period that caching was disabled.)
Jimbo, I highly recommend updating to the CVS version (which also fixes some watchlist bugs, list rendering bugs, and redirect bugs) and clearing the page cache. (The page cache should always be cleared when the software is upgraded in a way that might change the way pages are rendered -- like fixing rendering bugs!)

I like that; in [[Germany]] for instance there could be:
[[image:de-flag.jpg]]
which would be the equal, after rendering, of
http://www.wikipedia.com/upload/de-flag.jpg
We could also use the name-piping feature to add alt text (short descriptions of the image for text-mode and speech browsers):
[[image:de-flag.jpg|German flag]]
It might be desireable also to make the images themselves link to an information page, which could include the list of articles that use the image, when it was uploaded (and by whom), etc.
which is not very user friendly. But make sure doing this doesn't break the non-English wikipedias!
I can't think of any reason to gratuitously break the old syntax -- we might still want to be able to link to external images (with permission), and I'd prefer not to break the zillions of existing pages using full URLs! (They could be auto-corrected by a script, though.)
