I got it! ( I think)
I set the allow external links to true in my localsettings, even though it wasn't even
present there.
It seems to be working now, even though some of my jpg links are apparently dead, others
are alive

Subject: Images and MediaWiki
I have my own copy of the MediaWiki software running my own website.
Do I *need* to upload images in order to have a jpg appear on a page in my wiki, or can I
link to a remote image and have it appear? If I can link to a remote image, how do I do
that? Does someone have an example syntax?
