Note that this only works with the option to display image URLs as inline images switched on ($wgAllowExternalImages=true, I think). This is a common way of using images in small wikis, but was superceded by the upload-and-use-internally system on Wikipedia because there are obviously increased risks of vandalism and copyright issues if images from any source can be used.
I recently had this problem on http://jnana.wikinerds.org and I was trying to figure out what to do. I want to be able to show inline images stored on my site, but not from external sites. Is it possible? Could it be implemented on the Apache level somehow?
Linking the image to somewhere other than the description page is bug 539 [http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539], for which I made a rough patch ages ago, but was then stalled by the complication that some link to the description page was [arguably] still needed.
Is it possible to implement this patch as a module/extension, or as a preference in LocalSettings.php ?
