Other CMSs restrict what can be uploaded by file extension (.jpg, .gif, etc), so instead of configuring Apache to avoid loading html/php from the upload directory (not an option for many people), perhaps a similar configuration can be added for MediaWiki. Mage 16:03, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Images corrupt?

I get this errormessage when trying to upload images (jpg or png):

The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again.

The images directory is writeable and disableuploads set to false, using mediawiki 1.4.0. please help!

Batch Uploads?

Is there any way to "upload" a large batch of pictures to a local instance of mediawiki? Is there a workaround? I know this sounds stupid (just link to them, dumbass) but I'd like them to have pages, thumbnails, etc...

Restricting upload to user roles

Is there a way to restrict the upload to user roles or special users?

Uploading ascii text files

Is there a way to upload (or link to) ascii text files with text formatted in wiki format so they look like wiki pages when accessed? All I get is ascii text (with all the formatting commands visible) when I try it.

This feature would be useful for automatically updating files, or updating them remotely without needed a window system.
