Thread:Project:Support desk/Uploading a 2GB Zip file Timeouts/reply (4)

I need the files on my own site so I can't use subversion. If MediaWiki wasn't designed to allow zip files then why does the Upload Faq page tell you how to allow zip files?

What is this page supposed to do for me?: Template:Extension_by_patch_warning

What is the relevance of where MediaWiki can be obtained from?
