Weuh! Your wiki appears to be interpretting every occurrence of ":" as though it
were an external link - seemingly as though ":" were a valid 'protocol' prefix,
like "http://", "mailto:", etc. Thus "width:182px" becomes "width<a
href=":182px">:182px</a>" (with some extra floweryness), and so on wherever ":"
appears. (The mismatched "s may be your browser trying to make sense of the HTML
as it processes it)

Have you made any changes to the code, or made any "unusual" changes in
LocalSettings.php? Can you replicate this problem on any other wiki? What
happens if you just type "Bild:Test.JPG", or for that matter ":test"? (i.e. does
this happen only within the image markup, or to the wikitext generally?)
