==Embedding images from external sites==
As of September 2004, it is possible to embed some images from external sites in Wikisimpsons articles.  If the image's URL ends in a ".jpg", ".gif", or ".png", you may type URL into the article source (without brackets or other text surrounding it), and it will be displayed inline in the page.

However, this practice is generally considered poor etiquette and is frowned upon for most purposes.  Displaying an image from another website on Wikisimpsons most likely constitutes [[Wikipedia:bandwidth theft|bandwidth theft]] (unless the person who includes the image in Wikisimpsons also owns the server on which the image is located).  In most cases, it is simpler and more convenient to just upload the image to Wikisimpsons database.  Exceptions to this rule include personal photos which contributors may wish to display on their [[Help:user page|user page]]s.
