Purpose
If an image is available online, but cannot be uploaded to Wikipedia, it may be appropriate to use {{externalimage}} to provide a direct link to the image and a (referenced) description of what the image depicts.
{{externalimage}} can be used multiple times in an article, and each implementation of {{externalimage}} can be used to link to more than one image.
Usage
{{externalimage
|align = {{{1}}}
|width = {{{2}}}
|image1 = [ {{{3}}} {{{4}}} ] <ref> {{{5}}} </ref>
|image2 = ...
}}
Legend:
{{{1}}} = left / right / center
{{{2}}} = number(standard=300) px
{{{3}}} = URL of the image (direct link to the image, not the page if possible)
{{{4}}} = description of the image
{{{5}}} = link to the page where the image is from + date when this link was created
See it in action
Please look at War against Nabis to see an implementation of {{externalimage}}.
Other templates for linking external media
There is a family of three templates to link external media: {{externalimage}}, {{externalvideo}} and {{externalaudio}}
