Code Modification?

Post #1 of 3 (517 views)

I'm interested in commissioning a code modification that would do the
following... payment would be a donation to the Mediawiki team or to an
individual...

Currently you can embed an internal wiki image in a page, such as:

[[Image:imagename.jpg|90px]]

However, the URL when cliking on this image is pre-determined and cannot
be changed. The hyperlink will always show the image information page.

Something along the following would be ideal for our purposes:

[[Image:imagename.jpg|90px|url:http://www.destinationurl.com/destinationfile.html]]

Which would embed the image like normal, follow the normal wiki syntax,
but bring you to a different destination URL, should someone click on
the image.

Please contact me off list if possible.

In the interim you may want to check out the section "Images linking to a
page" in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Redirect
also http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Navigable_images

I bumped into this issue myself as well.

Best Regards,
