Hey there,

So for quite a while now, pictures in my (and perhaps others’ too?) wiki articles that I linked to on Wikimedia Commons don’t show up any more and instead create an error. The following article is an example: http://opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/Daiamondoshi-Pang (look under “cityscape”)

Now what I used to do was that I treated files on wiki commons like files that are already uploaded to the OGF wiki, because it appeared to me that the OGF wiki was somehow connected to Wiki Commons and accessed their datebase. Now my questions are, was I wrong? What changes were made so that now this way of doing it doesn’t work anymore? And what can I do to make the pictures show up again? Do I now need to seperately upload each and every one them to the OGF wiki? Thank you in advance :) Leo

This might be the cause of the problem:

I’ll try to fix it somewhere the next days.
