Hello,
XML files from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export contain img refences like: [[Image:Flag_de-berlin_civil_300px.png|150px|Landesflagge Berlins]] this e.g. resolves to: commons.wikimedia.org/upload/thumb/5/54/150px-Flag_de-berlin_civil_300px.png
That means that I don't get enough information to reconstruct the path.
Not directly, but you could try for the image from the wiki from which you are getting the export, and if you don't find it there, try the commons.
What's the explanation for "thumb/5/54" in the example above? Are there rules for conversion?
It's some sort of checksum of the image that determines the path.
