Forum:Can't use Google Chart API

Image hotlinking is enabled in Wikia (see my earlier posting on this). One area where this feature would be very useful for many wikis is the Google Chart API. However it does not work - probably because MediaWiki doesn't realize that the URL, which doesn't end in a known image extension such as .jpg, .gif or .png, returns an image.

http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chd=s:hW&chs=250x100&chl=Hello|World

This line should be replaced by a chart, but it isn't. Does anyone know a way to make it work? Spankart 08:39, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Now back to my original question: Does anyone know a way to make using the Google Chart API work in Wikia? For example, can I do it with some JavaScript, e.g. via an HTML tag? Example (which doesn't work because you can't use the tag directly in wiki source:
