Thanks John for answering my question 1.2:

> If you're only looking to use images from Wikimedia Commons

What means "no other wikis"?
(I would like to get this:
show pictures, scaled pictures, the Commons-metadata page by click, if
the file is in Commons,
and if the file is not in Commons but in the local Wiki,
show the picture from the local Wiki)

> you can use the shortcut setting $wgUseInstantCommons to true.

This I find in LocalSettings.php ?

So it would be fine to get $wgUseInstantCommons=true
as default in all new Mediawikis.
Which is the right place to ask for?

How is the solution for question 1.1 ?
Best regards,
Markus
