stop allowing wikipedia to be used as an image host
on April Fools Day this year, I was using Algodoo and found the “buy more polygons” joke, I clicked the link, which lead to the Wikipedia page for April Fools Day, the only problem was that the main image was replaced with an extremely inappropriate image, and according to the Scratch Wiki the forums allow Wikipedia to be used as an image host, this has the potential for inappropriate images to accidentally be uploaded to the Scratch Forums because at the time of uploading they weren't inappropriate

Support, these images could change without any notice and the changes would be visible

I like this as it could prevent inappropriate images. There are also some bad images on Wikipedia which might show up on the forums.

Support. I don't want wikipedia being used as an image host, because many kids (like me) are on the forums.

Support. I'm surprised it's currently allowed considering that anyone can put stuff on there

The same can be said for literally every other whitelisted image host (even Scratch, as it's for 8-16)thats an understatement There are also some bad images on Wikipedia which might show up on the forums.

I also think the ST trusts all of the image hosts enough so that no inappropriate content gets on Scratch, and a lot of images come from Wikimedia Commons. No support. I don't want to download then reupload every WP image just to use it in the forums
