[edit] Purpose

Provides text preloading when uploading files. The preload text is added to the page created in the Image namespace following a file upload.

[edit] Features

  • Easy to customize: edit the page Mediawiki:Onimageupload-text to add arbitrary wikitext.
  • Secure: preload text is located in the namespace Mediawiki which by default is restricted access
  • Help available: a user of the sysop group is provided with a link to the preload-text page on the Special:Version page.

[edit] Dependency


[edit] Installation

See the Mediawiki Extension table entry "download" above.[1]

[edit] Notes

[edit] Other Extensions From the same author

Consult User Jldupont's page.


  1. The most recent release is always available through the extension's PEAR and SVN repositories. This page is not necessarily up-to-date.
  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 Extension:ExtensionManager does not require any modification to LocalSettings.php because ExtensionManager includes the extension.
    Note that if PHP code caching is in place (e.g. APC, eAccelerator), then to successfully complete the installation a cache flush might be needed.
  3. Modifications to LocalSettings.php is only necessary if not using Extension:ExtensionManager
