This is done by editing the page in the same way as any other regular page. The file pages are stored in the File namespace. This means that the name of a page consists of the File: prefix and the name of the file. For example, if the name of the uploaded file is Example Picture. On the page that opens select File from the Namespace drop-down menu and click on the Go button. When you upload an image it's not displayed on any other page than its own file description page in the File namespace.

If you want an image to be shown in the content of a page, you have to add it there. This is also true for other file types but here we'll concentrate on images since these are the most common files that are uploaded and added to pages.

Here we'll not go through all the available options. We'll list the most basic ones with their values and we'll give some examples. This will give you an idea of how it's done and you can test it yourself and use various combinations depending on your needs. You have to edit the page on which you want the image to appear and add that code there. It will display an image called Example Picture. It will be shown with its original dimensions and at the exact spot in the content where you put it.

If the file is not an image but some other file type e. You can add options with which you can change the format of the image, its size, the horizontal and vertical alignment with respect to the text in the content. You can also link the image to other pages on the site or to an external URL. The syntax that you can use is the following:. You have to replace Example Picture. You can add more than one option; they are separated with the pipe symbol.

The caption is always the last one, if you decide to include it at all. Now we'll go over the basic options and we'll give some more examples.

This will display the image Example Picture. Since no size option is included, the picture will be shown with the thumbnail dimensions pixels width by default for unregistered users. Since the thumb format automatically aligns the picture to the right and there's no horizontal alignment option included, the picture will be displayed on the right side of the page. The caption text shown under it will be This is an example image.

With the Size option you can specify either the maximum width or height of the image or both; they are set in pixels px. You can add values in the following way the numbers are just examples :. If you don't specify a format or you add the border format as an option, you can set any size for the image even bigger than its original dimensions. The thumb and frameless formats allow you to set a size smaller than the original dimensions of the image.

What's meant here is not the thumbnail size dimensions of the image but it's original dimensions. For example, if the original width of the image is pixels and the thumbnail size is pixels, you can set a size with the thumb and frameless formats that's smaller than pixels.

Don't forget that by default, if you don't specify any size, the thumb and frameless formats use the thumbnail size specified in the account preferences of the user.

Setting only one dimension means that, of course, the whole image will be resized and the other dimension will be resized proportionately. For example, an image with default dimensions x when set to have a maximum dimension of pixels width is resized to x Note that specifying both the width and the height doesn't mean that the displayed image will have both dimensions set to these exact values. These are the maximum allowed dimensions.

Usually MediaWiki uses one of the dimensions and reduces the other one so that the image is proportionate. For example, if the image has original dimensions x and you set maximum dimensions to x pixels, the image might be displayed with dimensions x So generally it's enough if you specify only one of the dimensions.

The image will be displayed with a maximum width set to pixels and maximum height set to pixels. No format and caption are specified. By default the frameless format displays the image using the thumbnail size dimensions but in this case that will be ignored because the width is specifically set to pixels. Another useful option is the one for Horizontal alignment. When no alignment is set the image appears as an inline image in the text, meaning that it appears in the place in the text where you've put the code for the image.

You can use one of the following values for the horizontal alignment:. The image will be displayed on the left side of the text, with the border format with a maximum height of pixels and with the caption This is some caption text. You can also set a Vertical alignment. This is more rarely used. You can set it to one of the following values: baseline , sub , super , top , text-top , middle , bottom , text-bottom. This is more typically used when no horizontal alignment is specified and the image appears as an inline picture in the text.

Another option that may be useful is the Link option. By default, an image is a automatically also a link to its own file description page. You can use the link option if you want the image to link to a different page on the same site or on another site, or if you want to remove the link altogether. Here's the syntax for doing that:. Keep in mind that if you use the thumb or frame format you can also add links in the caption.

This is useful if you want the image to link to its own description page, but you want to add links to other pages related to the image. For example:. The link can also be to an external URL. The image itself will be a link to its description page. Instead of displaying an image in the content of a page, you can also add just a link to the image or to any file. You can either add a link to the description page of the file the page stored in the File namespace , or you can add a link to the corresponding page in the Media namespace this is useful if you want the link to display only an image on the page without any other information.

This will add a link to the description page of the image Example Picture. Just replace the name with the one for the file to which you want the link to point. Note that the difference as compared to adding an image in the content of a page is that in this case there's a colon right after the first two brackets. This will add a link to the image Example Picture. Note that in this case you shouldn't put a colon after the first two brackets. Registered users can configure a few options related to files.

The changes a user makes will be applied only to the account of that user. To be more precise, by default there are a couple of options related to the resizing of images. To configure them, after you log in click on the Preferences option and on the page that opens click on the Appearance tab.

On the following page there's a section Files :. There are a couple of user rights related to uploads. One is labeled upload and it gives the permission to upload files; the other is reupload and it gives the permission to change existing files, or in other words to replace them.

By default, both rights are assigned to the user group. This is the group to which all registered users belong and consequently all registered users have the right to upload images and overwrite images provided of course that uploads are enabled.

If you want to you can add the permissions to other groups or remove them from groups that have them at the moment. This can be done by adding some lines to the LocalSettings. For example, if you add the following at the end of LocalSettings. The people in the user group will not be able to upload files and overwrite existing files. This means that all registered users except administrators will not be able to upload files and replacing existing uploads. If you want to add one or both rights to a user group, put the label of the group in quotation marks in the first pair of brackets and replace false with true.

For example, you may want to create a new user group that's specifically intended for uploaders, and give that group both rights. For instance, by adding the following to LocalSettings. If in addition to these two lines you keep the previous two, then only the users in the uploader and sysop groups will be able to upload files. For more information on users and groups check out the tutorial on how to manage users, user groups and permissions in MediaWiki. If the user tries to upload another type of file, they'll not be allowed to do it.

This is done by adding to the LocalSettings. These are file types which may be used for malicious purposes and may pose security risks and so they are blacklisted. By default, the file extensions that are blacklisted are: html, htm, js, jsb, mhtml, mht, xhtml, xht, php, phtml, php3, php4, php5, phps, shtml, jhtml, pl, py, cgi, exe, scr, dll, msi, vbs, bat, com, pif, cmd, vxd, cpl.

You can run it in for all files in a given directory with a simple shell script, e. By default, importTextFile. Also, per standard MediaWiki page naming rules, underscores will be replaced by spaces and the first letter will be capitalized unless you've turned that off in your LocalSettings.

If you want finer control over the page naming, importTextFile. Or you could always copy the script and modify it yourself to change the page naming rules. There's also another MediaWiki maintenance script called edit. It can be quite handy for automated edits using Unix pipelines, though. Addendum: The importTextFile. If your files are in some other encoding, you'll have to either fix them first or modify the script to do the conversion, e.

To convert the file names to UTF-8, edit the titleFromFilename function, near the bottom of the script , and replace its last line:. To also convert the contents of the files, make a similar change higher up, inside the main code of the script, replacing the line:.
