This is often asked for, but AFAIK, you simply cannot do it
in MW  
through 1.5.5.

It gets brought up so often, they've gotta be thinking about
it. Have  
you checked bugzilla to see if it's listed, and if so, what
its  
status is?

:::: I see and admire your manner of living, your warm
houses, your  
extensive fields of corn, your gardens, your cows, oxen,
work-horses,  
wagons, and a thousand machines, that I know not the use of.
I see  
that you are able to clothe yourself, even from weeds and
grass. In  
short you can do almost what you choose. You whites possess
the power  
of subduing almost every animal to your use. You are
surrounded by  
slaves. Everything about you is in chains, and you are
slaves  
yourselves. I hear I should exchange my presents for yours.
I too  
should become a slave. Talk to my sons, perhaps they may be
persuaded  
to adopt your fashions, or at least to recommend them to
their sons;  
but for myself, I was born free, was raised free, and wish
to die  
free. -- Big Soldier, 1820 ::::

Well, it is possible to kind of hack around it. The Dutch
Wikipedia
(nl.wikipedia.org) implements something like that on the
home page.

BE ADVISED that - as far as I recall - the Dutch wikipedia
has HTML
enabled (which is required to get this working.).

It uses several HTML <DIV> statements to overlay an
empty-looking link
(like [[linkhere|  ]]) over the actual image (without any
caption).
They use a template with a fixed layout. On my own personal
wiki I
have parameterised (?) the template so that I can set the
size of the
picture (must be rectangular tho'.

Cheers, Hans.
