Benutzer:Ahnenfan/Test ImageCaptionFromDescriptionPage
Kann ich ein Bild einfügen und sei ne Beschreibung aus der Dateiseite entnehmen?
Benötigt: in HIS, aber auch hier
I've read some things about querying the API on this question but I'm struggling to see how I can display the result of the query on the property (be it iiprop=comment or rvprop=content or...something else) in the source itself.

If this is a locally uploaded file, and your description pages don't have extraneous formatting, you could get away with something like this:
[[File:imagename.png|frame|{{File:imagename.png}}]]
But there's plenty of ways that can go wrong...

And of the description pages contain more than the text to include, you could use something like , right?

@Brion: This works very nicely; thank you. Could you give me an example of what kind of formatting that might cause a problem? I added a span and some bold markup to my description to test the solution and had no problems.

@skia.heliou, it's called transclusion. Any MediaWiki page can be used as a template. The simplest way that can go wrong is the presence of a ]] or | which gets added in the markup of your image, breaking it.
