Images only!
I am trying to import files other than images (pdf, for example). This extension places everything in /images by default.
1) How can I place files in somewhere else?
2) How can I properly link to non-image files? (PDF, etc). Use Media:filename.ext
This is not the problem if this extension. See File_upload#Configuring file types and other sections on that help page. --Nux 20:35, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
Impossible and epic fail of ancient versions when only images were expected to be uploaded. See Manual:Image Administration. Previously even the namespace was reading "Image:Filename.pdf"... but changing the directory name seems impossible, otherwise it would have happened alrerady.
Not quite true - you can change the folder: Manual:$wgUploadDirectory. If something won't work for you after changing this (I'm guessing this might happen if you don't start from scratch) then I guess you can create a junction to the old (original) name.
