The normal [[image:Whatever.jpeg]] still work but not http://www.someserver.tld/foto.jpeg

You get a url and not the picture.

It seems to be so since yesterday.

For normal use of Wikipedia that is no problem. But there is one special use of this form that now does not work anymore.

Since 27th of october 2002 we have on the Dutch Wikipedia a Nedstat counter.

So now we have stats form the early days of the Dutch Wikipedia, befor wikimedia has its one internal stats and the are also live. Also the other Dutch projects use this system.

Because you can not use real html on the wiki pages the counter is a external image that is loaded.

... and this does not work now anymore.

I whould like a solution. Is there some option so you can put the external images again on or to include a html image tag?
