[Mediawiki-l] making an image a link to an external page.

Fri Dec 30 00:59:06 UTC 2005

Okay, in plain old html I'd make an image a link to another page by going:

<a href="www.yahoo.com"><img src="myYahooLogo.gif"></a>

Reading the mediawiki help and trying to figure out how to do this
within the wiki...my god...I'm sorry but it seems horribly complex for
a relatively easy concept.  Is it really true that I have to make a
redirect at the image page?

So what I want to do is upload an image and then make that image link
to an external website, like perhaps:

[http://gmail.google.com/gmail [[Image:GmailIcon.jpg]]]

I'm hoping that there is a reasonably easy way to do this reasonably
common thing.

Thanks,
