Forum:How to import images from a wikia to another

How I can import an image from a wikia to another instead of saving the picture and uploading it in the target wikia? --MarioSmasher/SuperFamicom64 19:19, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you just copy and paste the image URL, it will show up on the other wiki, however, it's extremely difficult to do things like position them and such. It's best that you just download and upload the image, however. I'm not positive there's not a way to link them from other sites, but I've never found a way. Drewlzoo(talk)


 * Would Wikia be willing to create a WikiaImageArchive wiki, to allow multiple wikis to use the same files? 70.24.251.208 05:35, May 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * For those most commonly used like Wikimedia Commons' SVG flags of nations collection would be very useful, I think.


 * You might want to send the WikiaImageArchive idea to Special:Contact, but be warned: A few weeks ago I send a similar idea that way: Why not - I asked - allow for interwiki image-embedding: w:c:someWiki:File:SomePicture? They told me it was a great idea and thanked me for the suggestion. And that was that. --


 * @Pecoes: Similar story with a .wikia-menu-button .secondary suggestion of mine for the article comments.


 * @Mario: I think you can use css for that, but I'd discourage it. As Drew said I'd just download and then upload the images. I spend most of my time editing doing just this between Commons and Wikia. ;) STARFLEET  ACADEMY  08:15, May 12, 2012 (UTC)
