[Mediawiki-l] Image linking

[Tim Statler]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a link out of an embedded image. In HTML terms, an <a/> tag wrapped around an <img/> tag.

I tried the following syntax, per the docs<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files#Link>:

[[Image:Pic.jpg|link=http://google.com/]]

But the link assigned to the image is always the image description page on the wiki; not the specified link (google.com).

I also tried the direct linking method:

[http://linktopage http://linktoImage]

But our wiki engine ignore the syntax.

Is there another way to make a link out of an image? Also, are there any wiki configuration settings that an admin might need to tweak to make something like this work?

Thanks,
Tim
