CRW can use content from Wikimedia Commons much like Wikipedia does with a small configuration change. Currently, a file can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons or Wikipedia, and it's as if the file exists on Wikipedia if it's just on Commons. | CRW can use content from Wikimedia Commons much like Wikipedia does with a small configuration change.

:Update2: I was confused by bad documentation. https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Redirect/file/Ecobee_logo.svg would work (hotlinking), but I think [[Special:FilePath]], aka [[Special:Redirect]] is of no use for including an image in a ''wiki'' page. So I think InstantCommons is the way to go. (It comes pre-installed, so it's vetted; it just needs to be turned on but it requires server access to add one line the server's copy of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:LocalSettings.php.) --[[User:CrookKilla|CrookKilla]] ([[User talk:CrookKilla|talk]]) 22:32, 22 June 2026 (UTC) | :Update2: I was confused by bad documentation. https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Redirect/file/Ecobee_logo.svg would work (hotlinking), but I think [[Special:FilePath]], aka [[Special:Redirect]] is of no use for including an image in a ''wiki'' page.

:Sounds like a good idea! I've passed it on to Jake for implementation, should hopefully roll out in the next patch if there are no unforseen complications [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 10:30, 26 June 2026 (UTC) | |||

:Oh, and do we have an admin who can import templates from Wikipedia or are you looking for one? [[Special:Import]] requires the mop too. I used [[Template:Dead link]] recently at [[eBay]] (before it existed), and <s>would like</s> ''wanted'' to import it so it would ''work'', but I saw the Wikipedia version has a bunch of dependencies: Template:Fix, Module:Yesno, Module:Arguments, the '''whole freaking''' Module:Citation/CS1, and sub-Modules (they're ~half the file), Module:Protection banner+sub and Module:Documentation+subs (~5% each), Module:Check for unknown parameters, Module:Navbox, Template:Dead link/styles.css, and related meta-templates ~50 "pages" total. Apparently, essential backend extensions like Scribunto, ParserFunctions, and TemplateStyles must be installed, with a full export via Special:Export recommended to ensure all dependencies are included. The export produces a ridiculously huge 1.1MB file if I check "Include templates" (required; otherwise, it's tiny). | :Oh, and do we have an admin who can import templates from Wikipedia or are you looking for one?

:'''SUCCESS'''! Relatively minimalist [[Template:Dead link]] forked off Wikia instead. Works! Having a strategy re https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/117429/how-to-use-wikipedia-templates-on-an-outside-mediawiki would be good. We have so I presume we already imported CS1, or does it come with MediWiki? I see we do NOT have citation (CS1, CS2, etc) templates; citations work through Modules, so those templates are not needed, apparently.
