You misunderstood it. In order to setup the Wiki secure and sound you can either use the normal UID and GID settings or this: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE_121/opensuse-security/cha.security.acls.html

This has nothing to do with what you have pointed towards. A normal user does not have any access on the server, but deals with the Wiki and the content thereon. Yet, in order to handle the aspect of a save server, the settings, especially when there are more than one user, needs to be dealt with carefully.

To give the apache access to the images folder has its downsites as does a 777 on the folder. Especially when there are more than one user on a server. That is where the ACLs come into play.

But as you are new to this "universe", you may want to start with a 777 on the images folder and set up stricter restrictions over time, with more experience and a better understanding on how things are and how things work.
