Customization

It is possible to specify dedicated parameter sets for the upload of specificfile types by editing theMediaWiki:Simplebatchupload-parameters page. Eachline of that page is considered as one set of parameters.

Available parameters are:

• Name of template to be stored as text on initial upload
• Upload comment
• Title line of the Special:BatchUpload page

Parameters should be separated by pipes (|).

The line to be used is selected by appending the name of the template as thesubpage to the URL of the Special:BatchUpload page.

Example:

Consider the parameter line

Pics | These pics were uploaded using [[mw:Extension:SimpleBatchUpload{{!}}SimpleBatchUpload]] | Upload some pics!

• This can be selected by going toSpecial:BatchUpload/Pics.
• The title of this page will beUpload some pics!.
• The comment for the upload will beThese pics were uploaded using [[mw:Extension:SimpleBatchUpload{{!}}SimpleBatchUpload]].
• If a file with that name is uploaded for the first time it will have{{Pics}} as wikitext.

Configuration

Available configuration options:

• $wgSimpleBatchUploadMaxFilesPerBatch - Array defining the maximum number offiles that can be uploaded each time depending on the user group.
  Default:

$wgSimpleBatchUploadMaxFilesPerBatch = ['*' =>1000,];

Note: Be aware that this is not the right setting to completely block fileuploads! Users can still use the normal file upload or the MediaWiki API. Seethe paragraph on user permissions onConfiguring file uploadson mediawiki.org.
