| Description: | Allows for transclusion of images from one wiki to another. |
| License: | GPLv2+ |
The TransImage extension allows for images from other wiki to be embedded into the page. Unfortunately a commons like system does not work for every purpose, sometimes you have a WikiFarm and you want to transclude an image directly from another wiki on the farm rather than filling up a common wiki with all the images.
Like TransWiki the TransImage uses a customizable backend rather than Interwiki links, this allows you to define where and how you get your images from other wiki.
Generally the syntax is the same as it is for embedding the images from the Image: namespace:
- <code>[[Image:Wikiname:ImageName.ext|params|caption]]</code>
Effectively the only difference between a normal Image inclusion and a TransImage inclusion is the Wikiname: after the : and before the name. This does not break any images either, the : character is illegal in Image Names and is always rewritten to - when you upload a file with it so it never shows up.
