Yes, images can be accessed from several different urls but only some display images automatically.

I noticed this while setting up Mediawiki:Emoticons ...but all of these links just displayed in the preview correctly, which is odd.

edit: well, ignore all of that, each of those links worked correctly.

edit: of those 5 links, the first 2 don't work on MediaWiki:Emoticons, but work here. I was confused and assumed that because they didn't work there, they wouldn't work anywhere, sorry.
