Upload Image Files in Bulk?

[wandererfan]

Is it possible to upload more than 1 image file at a time? a script maybe?

I have to load all the TechDraw icons at some point and the only way I know to upload a file is Tools>Upload a file.

Sorry, not enough coffee yet, not following you. Don't see any extra upload function in Artwork page.

I know how to add an image to a page once the image is uploaded to the Wiki ([[Image:myIcon.svg]], but I'm trying to avoid doing 1 upload per icon.

renatorivo has already uploaded the icons to the artwork page in a new Tech Draw Section.

It looks like an extension would be required to upload files in bulk.

Or there seems to be a python script: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:P ... /upload.py

Why aren't you using the extension Mediawiki:MsUpload ?
It as close as you get to image drag & doop. It will do bulks.

Documenting a workbench with all these little button images is a nightmare without extensions like that. Try it out you will see what I mean.
We are running MediaWiki 1.27.1 and MsUpload 10.0 with no problems. Its the most loved extension by the users.

I just saw this old thread, but I will mention this here in case anybody finds this information in the future.

All icon images in the wiki should be SVG files, and not PNG.

SVG files are vector images and can be scaled to any size without loss of detail; basically, they will always look good. On the other hand PNG images are bitmaps; they will look good depending on the initial resolution with which they where created. SVG files should be used for icons, diagrams, and other graphics that are simple. PNGs should be used for direct pictures taken with a camera, or images of your own screen (screenshots).

The Template:GuiCommand handles insertion of icons in SVG or PNG formats.

Code: Select all

{{#if:{{{Empty|}}}||
    {{#if:{{{Icon|}}}
        |[[Image:{{{Icon}}}|32px]]<span> </span>
        |{{#ifexist: Image:{{{Name}}}.svg
            |[[Image:{{{Name}}}.svg|32px]]<span> </span>
            |{{#ifexist: Image:{{{Name}}}.png
                |[[Image:{{{Name}}}.png|32px]]<span> </span>
                |[[Image:NoIconFound.png|32px|Official icon not found]]

If the option is Empty, it will display no icon; otherwise, it will use the value of Icon; otherwise it will try the value Name.svg; otherwise it will try the value Name.png; otherwise it will display NoIconFound.png.

So, in general, as of today, there is no need to have icons in PNG; icons in SVG is enough.
