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.
Externalimages should be removed as soon as an adequate (it is not adequate if the image in commons is not sufficiently accurate) image is available in commons.
{{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}}
