Using an image gallery with MediaWiki

You can use an imageboard to upload and store images for MediaWiki in addition or instead of using the MediaWiki upload methods.

Advanages of using an imageboard to store images for a wiki:
 * Easier to mass upload, sort, and manage images
 * Better for casual uploads or for uploading images that might not be used in articles, such as humor images or memes
 * Using this method, the ability to thumbnail images from the imageboard


 * Directions
 * 1) Install Extension:Widgets
 * 2) Install a Coppermine image gallery that has an extension for providing the file path URL of images to everyone
 * 3) Add the CSS, widget, and template code below
 * 4) Modify the templates and widgets to accept images from your imageboard
