Project:Uploaders

Administrators and uploaders are able to upload files on MediaWiki.org (this site), while regular users cannot. This was done to reduce the increasing amount of junk and copyright violations present in MediaWiki files (and reduce the existing ones), while allowing users who have a legitimate need to continue uploading files here. Also see phab:T217523.

Please note: Most free images can easily be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. MediaWiki.org is not the place to upload non-free images.

Users requiring the ability to upload locally on MediaWiki.org should post a request at Project:Requests.

Rights
