Ah, I see what happened. For the English wiki
conversion,
I changed all the external links to local images into
[[image:...]] references. The external references to
wikipedia images on the German site really are external,
though, and they probably shouldn't have been translated.
On the other hand, those images really should be moved to
the new site so that the wikis are more independent, so I'm
inclined to think that leaving them "broken" is the right
thing to do, to encourage authors toput them into the new
site. I'm open to other idea though.
Some images should be on a wiki in a particular language (for instance the
map of China and environs) and some should be on one wiki and usable by all
(most chemical diagrams, pictures without words). How about
[[en:image:foo.jpg]] to mean that an image is on the English wiki, even if
the link is on the German one?
