Post Pictures on Wiki W/O uploading as file

Post by paleonaps »

You see, for my userpage, I want a Raptor Jesus picture. I don't want to waste space on the Wiki files (and Robotman hinted to me in a PM that there was a limit to uploading files) so is there any way I can use a picture on the Internet in the Wiki?

At the moment there is no way to link images from other locations and have them displayed as an image in the wiki

How about this? You don't put a Raptor Jesus picture on your wiki userpage. If your problem starts with, "I want to...," you probably shouldn't ask somebody else to solve it.

That's fine, I just wanted to know.
Also, what is the maximum upload limit for images to the Wiki by one user? (If there is one)

I don't think there is... however, I know that every now and then, the wiki mods will go through and "clean up the wiki" ie remove worthless pictures, such as a Raptor Jesus photo.
I might be wrong, so ask the wiki mods.

Well, that's a shame. It would really make it a lot easier to put pictures on the event pages if I didn't have to first save to my computer, then upload. Oh well.

There is no upload limit for users.
