[OSM-talk] Wiki-Admin: Allow "external" images

[Stefan Baebler]

another example:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Press
Should be easy to use for journalists.... but clicking the icons takes
them to the icon, not to the desired content

I guess you want similar functionality for linking to external pages.
That could be also useful for linking to external tools in city pages,
but it shouldn't be abused.
