The AddImgTag extension allows you to use HTML <img> tags directly in your wiki pages. This restores the <img> tag that was removed in MediaWiki 1.42.

See the README file for detailed instructions on how to install, configure and use this extension.

Usage

Simply add the <img> tag to your wiki pages:

<img src="https://example.com/image.jpg" alt="Example image" width="300" height="200" />

Configuration

You can control which image sources are allowed or blocked:

$wgAddImgTagWhitelist: List of specific URLs that are always allowed.
$wgAddImgTagWhitelistDomainsList: List of domains that are always allowed.
$wgAddImgTagBlacklist: List of specific URLs that are always blocked.
$wgAddImgTagBlacklistDomainsList: List of domains that are always blocked.

Example configuration in LocalSettings.php:

$wgAddImgTagWhitelistDomainsList = [
    'commons.wikimedia.org',
    'upload.wikimedia.org'
];

$wgAddImgTagBlacklistDomainsList = [
    'example.com',
    'untrusted-site.org'
];
