Forum:How can I enable i.imgur links to show pictures instead of external links

Hi there, I was wondering how I could enable links such as thisto come up as the same picture on wiki pages (on my wiki). I want to enable this function for all i.imgur links to do this on my wiki, thanks!


 * MediaWiki only supports pulling images from other specific (Staff chosen) wikis running compatible software (so, just MediaWiki AFAIK) or the server's harddrive. It should be possible to connect to imgur since the framework that does this is extensible, but that would require Wikia's engineers to write new code on the servers specifically to enable it. You may be able to write a script to substitute links to imgur into the page automatically but that's probably it. I'm rather doubtful that this is a good idea though, is there a particular reason you can't just upload the images normally? Lunarity 01:49, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
