How to link to image and set alt= with wiki markup ? IMG has been banned in phase 3.

Not that thing ! External image.
Upload the image to the Wikipedia server and link as above.
Non-local inline images are inherently unreliable; the source may move or delete the image without warning, may consider us to be bandwidth thieves and block anything with a referrer from Wikipedia, may just be down when we're up, may not be copyright-compatible, and could be unhelpful to attempts to set up offline mirrors.
