MediaWiki talk:External image whitelist

For new discussions about additions to this page, please visit the Staff lounge. Here are the general guidelines.
 * 1) Only sites that will be used widely will be allowed, sites that are only relevant for a few pictures will not be included
 * 2) The site must not have a policy stating that hotlinking is allowed or encouraged.

 * 1) World of Pirates ownership map
 * "Is it worth the exception?" Hmm... good question. The image has been up on the guide page for over two years, so I was under the impression we wanted it there. Anyway, isn't that what this list is for – exceptions? — najzere T 20:06, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Linking to ourselves is common, and we're going to be linking to a lot of youtube videos for now. These to me are common cases out of necessity.  My preference would be to disable external linking completely, as it makes it very hard to track images and their links.  However, I doubt people would agree to that, so at least this provides some benefits. -- Prod (Talk) 22:10, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * When you disable hotlinked images, it's going to break existing guide content, which is the reason I put the link on here. That is this page's intended use, so you'll have to explain what you're looking for if you're trying to do something else with it. Putting this image on the list doesn't affect any other images, so I'm not sure what the problem is. If it's not added back into the list, I'll have no choice but to remove it from the guide page, since nothing will show up. If it's your intention that this specific image not be on our guide pages, just say so and we can remove it now instead of waiting for MW mechanics. — najzere T 22:21, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Information icon
I think this image is only used in one place outside of image maps, so should we just upload it to the wiki? — najzere T 20:59, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, can we switch the image map info icon for this prettier one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Information.png ? Or even http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Imbox_notice.png ? — najzere T 21:38, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
