Research direction

Start with the SUMO article “Inviting Other People to Events” and its linked discussion thread. Inspect the three wiki.mozilla.org image references in the “Creating the Event” chapter and review the related “Using the Lightning Calendar Add-on” article noted in the issue. Done means the article’s images display correctly and any necessary outdated content is revised.

Description

From el8 filed: Bug 1992560: Images in an article aren't displayed

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Navigate to the SUMO KB article: Inviting Other People to Events.
  2. Notice that the images in the "Creating the Event" chapter aren't displayed, placeholders are shown instead.
Comment from Alice Wyman:

This Thunderbird KB article uses <img src= > code for the three images that don't display:
<img src="https://wiki.mozilla.org/images/a/a4/Invite_attendees_button.png" >
<img src="https://wiki.mozilla.org/images/thumb/c/c0/Attendees_screen.png/600px-Attendees_screen.png" >
<img src="https://wiki.mozilla.org/images/2/22/Event_w_attendess.png" >

The article hasn't been updated in over ten years so other changes may be needed. I started a discussion thread here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/inviting-other-people-events/discuss/14029 Images no longer display

Discussion tab of the article from Alice:

Bug 1992560 - Images in an article aren't displayed

This Thunderbird article uses the following code to display the images:

<img src="https://wiki.mozilla.org/images/a/a4/Invite_attendees_button.png">
<img src="https://wiki.mozilla.org/images/thumb/c/c0/Attendees_screen.png/600px-Attendees_screen.png" >
<img src="https://wiki.mozilla.org/images/2/22/Event_w_attendess.png">

... which doesn't work:

For the record, this article hasn't been updated in over 10 years so other changes may be needed. The only SUMO article that links to it is Using the Lightning Calendar Add-on ... which is archived.

Thanks to el8, manuel, @AliceWyman, @kelimuttu
