Basically, we are presenting an alternative to linking images on the wiki. As you know, linking Photobucket images renders the image without actually uploading it onto this wiki. Since uploaded images are for article use only, linking Photobucket/Imageshack circumvents policy so that you can utilize the image for personal use. The alternative to linking Photobucket or Imageshack is to link vignette images. Vignette images are basically images that have already been uploaded to Wikia (in general). For example, if you click on, you should see something about vignette in the URL. However, vignette images cannot be rendered on this wiki without uploading it. Due to this, vignette must be "whitelisted" on the external image whitelist page so that it can render on the wiki without uploading it. The page simply allows vignette to render on the wiki via linking, so now you can link already uploaded images :). Hopefully that cleared things up a bit, but I'm sure Dragonboy could do some further explanation ^^
