Hello,
We would like some help in figuring out the quickest and easiest way to disable link checking in the mediawiki software. By this I mean that when rendering a page, there is a check to see if the original image exists. If it's found, a link is constructed to the appropriate thumbnail size. If not, an upload link is constructed instead. It would be a great help to us if someone familiar with the code could give us some info on the best way to force it to construct the image link even if it's not there when it's rendered. I hope this is clear enough. If not, I'll try to clarify.

Why do you need that? You could probably import all the images on the taget folder using maintenance/importImage.php Or perhaps you were looking for $wgGenerateThumbnailOnParse
