Re: External Image displays only link with $wgAllowExternalImages = true;

Platonides,
Your response was helpful because it worked. I was using a wikipedia
image which had a 'File:' reference in the URL. The direct link was
available from the description page and was a URL of the form you
response indicated. This brought me to the next problem, controlling
the size of the image, which can't be done with just the external
image URL.
Nevio,
Your response was the next step. I activated the $wgForeignFileRepos[]
to wikimedia commons and was able to use a [[File:<file.xxx>|<xx>px]]
to bring in the image in the correct size.
Q,
You also had the right answer, but; it was more difficult to see as I
had been using URL to images (which worked in my browser). With the
'File:' embedded, it must mess with MediaWiki's parser.
Thanks everyone for your help.
