[Mediawiki-l] Need sample data for image "uploads"

Thu Oct 7 00:54:58 UTC 2004

Brion described it in detail in Vol 12, Issue 13. Basically, the
subdirectory an image is in is based on its md5 sum. You could hack
MediaWiki so that it does not add the sum. But Brion Vibber knows this
soooooooooooo much better than I.

This would presumably require me to manually copy files I wish to "upload" to the /images directory (and any applicable subdirectories) and also manually create a proper entry in the "image" table in the MySQL database.
