Is it possible to insert a link to an existing image in a bio?

Question

I would like (and tried!) to add a link to a source image in a person's biography, but couldn't get it to work; is that something that's even allowed?

I don't want to insert the image in the text.

I tried something like <ref> [[godbout-90-10.jpg|Baptism record]] </ref> and got a message that only certain people have the permission to do this....

Answer 1

You need the full URL of the image, and then you can link like this: [http://www.wikitree.com/photo.php/d/da/xyz.jpg Baptism record].

Thank you, I'll try it later today.

I tried it and got an "Access denied" when clicking on the link in the profile; you can have a look at it in the godbout-90 profile if you want, I've left it as is.  I'm guessing that the image is on a server with limited access.

To find the full link go to the picture page http://www.wikitree.com/photo/jpg/godbout-90-10 and click on the picture. The full link is http://www.wikitree.com/photo.php/a/a2/Godbout-90-10.jpg

You were using http://www.wikitree.com/photo.php/d/da/godbout-90-10.jpg

The things in bold change for each photo.

Great! Got it; thank you again.

Click on the image you want to use elsewhere.  That should take you to a page with the image and details about the image.  

Scroll down to "edit image details".  See the list of  "people and things in the image".  To put this picture on another page, either add the person's WikiTree ID in the box, or select them from the checklist below (if they're on your watchlist).
