I am unable to locate any code that would allow me to create an internal link represented by an internal image. I am also unable to disable the wiki code to allow proper html which would circumvent this problem, as nowiki does not work on this code. Here is an example in plain html which i would like to implement in my wiki:
<a href="[[Internal Link]]"> <img src="[[Image:Internal_Image]]"> </a>
I just want to be able to click on a jpeg image in my wiki and have it take me to a specific wiki entry, like a menu. Internal image, internal link, why is this an issue? Further, I cannot understand why in any of the link or image syntax help areas it not only doesn't tell how to do this, but it doesn't even mention if it is possible or not.
Help.
Best Regards, Steve

Because then users couldn't easily navigate to the image's description page anymore.

OK, that is a significant problem that clearly needs to be fixed. (But then again, open-source documentation is always like that ;-) )

We could add a "link=article title" parameter to the image syntax, so clicking the image links to [[article title]], *but* with a little note below the article heading, similar to the REDIRECT thing; like "see the image description page [[here|image:xyz.jpg]]".

Indeed - see http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539 (I must finish off those hacks of mine...)

Hm, that's an interesting suggestion... "Note: The image you clicked to reach this page was [[Image:$1]]" Of course, it wouldn't work for linking an image to an external (or interwiki) target, or linking to nowhere (see the bug for why this might be desirable), but it's an interesting option; I'll add it to the bug discussion for future reference...
