Thanks John for answering my question 1.2:
If you're only looking to use images from
Wikimedia Commons
and no other wikis,
What means "no other wikis"?
(I would like to get this:
show pictures, scaled pictures, the Commons-metadata page by click, if
the file is in Commons,
and if the file is not in Commons but in the local Wiki,
show the picture from the local Wiki)
you can use the shortcut setting $wgUseInstantCommons
to true.
This I find in LocalSettings.php ?
So it would be fine to get $wgUseInstantCommons=true
as default in all new Mediawikis.
Which is the right place to ask for?
How is the solution for question 1.1 ?
Best regards,
Markus
