Hello everyone!

Since a short time, i've the phenomen that the editor inserts [[File:xxxx.filetype]] instead of [[Datei:xxxx.filetype]].

Since my wiki is formerly used in German languge, this is a problem, so most of the images are only shown as links, which are not working.

My Questions:

1) Where can i set the inser languge of the editor to makje him always produce "Datei:" links?

2) Can i set the Wiki to accept both "File:" and "Datei:" as Image-Links?

Thanks,

Steve

1. You shouldn't need to.
2. It should already do that.

To show that this is how things should work, I copied Salasaca to my sandbox on dewiki and then changed the wikitext to use "File:" or "Image:" instead of "Datei:".

Both continued to work.

Maybe we could be more help if you point to your wiki or, if it isn't public, give us the version number of MediaWiki that you are running.

I am using MediaWiki 1.23.5

[[Image:]] is working. But the WYSIWIG-editor always creates [[File:xxx]] and after PreView there are more '[' and ']' arounf [[File:]]

Which WYSIWYG editor are you talking about?

Note that if you set file: in $wgUrlProtocols it would break File: image syntax
