I know, and thats kind of why i dont copy images from en but use my template.
In the meantime until we have the commons could someone turn up the number of allowed includes?

It's used so that we dont have to go through the trauble of uploading all of them each time we need a picture that exists on the english wikipedia already.

The french have complained about this before as they use a template in front of every external link. But i'll do it again here. On is. we have a template called Mynd (The name of the Image namespace) which we use in the following way:
{{Mynd|http://en.wikipedia.org/upload/thumb/1/1f/300px-Mahameru-volcano.jpg%7Cright...]] eldfjalli á [[eyja|eyjunni]] [[Java]] í [[Indónesía|Indónesíu]]}}
Using a syntax like that you either force wikimedia not to change the directory structure ever again, or (more probably) you'll need to change all your links when (if) that happens. It would be better to stick with ordinary Image: (or Mynd:) links.

The functionality that you want, will eventually be a function of WikiCommons.
This does illustrate the need for this functionality. The same is true for the amount of pictures that can be uploaded to WikiCommons but are not.
WHEN are we going to have at least the environment to upload ??
