Configuration & Installation

 * Get the source
 * Add the two files to a MultiUpload subdirectory under extensions
 * You have to have already set up uploads to work properly on your wiki
 * For more information on this, see Manual:Configuring file uploads
 * Add this line to your LocalSettings.php
 * Patch SpecialUpload.php. Copy mediawiki-1.14.0.patch to your base mediawiki installation directory and run patch -p0 < mediawiki-1.14.0.patch
 * Optional: Find a place where you can link to your new extension Special:MultipleUpload
 * For example, you can add it to the sidebar by editing MediaWiki:Sidebar and adding a new line ** Special:MultipleUpload|multipleupload ("upload files") or ** Special:MultipleUpload|multiupload-toolbox ("Upload multiple files"). In both cases, if only "multipleupload" or "multipleupload-toolbox" shows in the sidebar, you may have to navigate in your wiki to "Mediawiki:multipleupload" or "Mediawiki:multipleupload-toolbox" and create the pages with the messages that are already shown.

Options
