** '''Admin tip''': To enable file uploading someone with access to the MediaWiki installation files needs to edit the codeLocalSettings.php/code file and uncomment or add the option code$wgEnableUploads = true;/code. Uploaded files will be stored in the images folder specified by the code$wgUploadPath/code variable in the codeLocalSettings.php/code. This directory must be writable if file uploads is enabled. The [[metawikipedia:LocalSettings.php#Upload_Location|upload location]] and [[metawikipedia:LocalSettings.php#Image_Uploads#Image_Uploads|image uploads]] settings are described in more detail on the MetaWiki [[metawikipedia:LocalSettings.php|LocalSettings.php]] page. | |||
* The ''Special pages'' tool lists the MediaWiki special pages. In MediaWiki terminology, a special page is one that presents information about the Wiki and/or allows access to administration activities for the wiki. For example, a list of users registered with the wiki, statistics about the wiki such as the number of pages and number of page edits, system logs, a list of orphaned pages, and so on. These special pages are commonly generated when the special page is loaded rather than being stored in the wiki database. | * The ''Special pages'' tool lists the MediaWiki special pages.
