Link and photo gallery question
Here is a two part question. First, is there a simple way to integrate
photo gallery functionality into MediaWiki? Can this be done by using
the Gallery PHP setup
(http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=index)?

Second question, how do you make links that aren't standard http/ftp
based. For example, I want to make a link to add a person to their
Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo provides a URL scheme called ymsgr:, and you can
make links to add friends. ymsgr:addfriend?NAME . I'd like to add this
URL into my MediaWiki but I'm not sure how. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks
Ralph

You may want to write a extension, but after Mediawiki is good enough for
basic images I don't think one of the devs would want to write the extension.

you can add it to the constant URL_PROTOCOL in includes/Parser.php
