[Mediawiki-l] Missing image

The site is on an intranet, so inaccessible, but a snip from the wiki page looks like:

# From the pull-down menus click '''File > Export > Export DXF/DWG...'''
#* [[Image:Import-Export.png|Export DWG/DXF dialog box]] <br><small>''This will not export layers or classes that are turned off. If you know your consultants preferred pen set-ups put them in here, if not don't worry, just proceed.''</small>

I don't know if all the code surrounding it made the difference (it's part of a much longer list), but then why?  The bit I had to copy was the "Import-Export.png" in the Image tag.  I could type it in but to no avail, copy and paste and there was my image.  There were three images on this page, and two other pages affected with about six images each (I would copy the whole page but it is rather large).

Could you paste an example of the links (url and wiki page) you are 
talking about please? =)

The only way I could fix it was to open the image from Special:Imagelist using the (desc) link, copy the name of the image from the page header and paste it in the tag on the wiki page where I was trying to display it.  Why this would work where typing in the name manually would not, or why the existing link to the image was now invalid I could not discern.
