The french have complained about this before as they
use a template in
front of every external link. But i'll do it again here. On is. we
have a template called Mynd (The name of the Image namespace) which we
use in the following way:
{{Mynd|http://en.wikipedia.org/upload/thumb/1/1f/300px-Mahameru-volcano.jpg|right|300px|[[Mahameru]]
eldfjalli á [[eyja|eyjunni]] [[Java]] í [[Indónesía|Indónesíu]]}}
Using a syntax like that you either force wikimedia not to change the
directory structure ever again, or (more probably) you'll need to change
all your links when (if) that happens. It would be better to stick with
ordinary Image: (or Mynd:) links.
