[Wikitech-l] Re: 2 Questions: "Image-Batch-Upload" and "Refresh wiki data"

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, regarding your Image-Batch-Upload question, I developed an extension that allows MediaWiki to wire in already uploaded images in a local folder. This allows you to use FTP to upload all your files, and then hook them in without the HTTP interface. Alternatively, you can upload a single tarball and decompress it, then upload the files (even faster but a bit more clumsy). It's not very well-documented/tested code and it has problems with wikis that have magic_quotes enabled and filenames with single quotes in them (I have a patch that fixes that though), so I'm not ready to release it yet, but if you're interested, send me an email and I'll hook you up. It should be *a lot* faster than using pywikipediabot, although if you already got it to work, no sense beating a dead horse. I use the script to upload particularly large files, where FTP serves me much better. - -- Edward Z.
