MediaWiki talk:External image whitelist

What does this mystery page do? Jdlrobson (talk) 19:05, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

If mw:Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages is false and mw:Manual:$wgEnableImageWhitelist is true, on this Interface page you can specify regex patterns to check an url against. If the url matches one expression, images will be visible as images, if not, they will be only a link. So it's another way to enable external images, instead of using mw:Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages and mw:Manual:$wgAllowExternalImagesFrom :) --Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 12:58, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

mw:Manual:$wgEnableImageWhitelist has been false since mw:MediaWiki 1.33/wmf.2#Core changes was deployed 1 November 2018. This means MediaWiki:External image whitelist is currently not used. PrimeHunter (talk) 13:57, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
