From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

It would be great if this worked:

w:Image:flute.jpg

File:w:flute.jpg Is this not acceptable? Zardoz 01:59 May 15, 2003 (UTC)

This reflects some namespace inconsistency between Wiktionary and Wikipedia. Wiktionary has its own Image: namespace. [[Image:w:flute.jpg]], alas, yields the flute.jpg in the Wiktionary namespace, not the Wikipedia one. It's the same image, which is kind of confusing.
One solution is to just paste an actual URL from Wikipedia, thus:
http://www.wikipedia.org/upload/1/1a/Japan_coa.png
But that is really suboptimal, since the URL could change.
