The SimpleBatchUpload extension provides basic, no-frills uploading of multiple files to MediaWiki.

• PHP 5.4 or later
• MediaWiki 1.26 or later

The recommended way to install this extension is by using Composer. Just add the following to the MediaWiki composer.local.json file and run php composer.phar update mediawiki/simple-batch-upload from the MediaWiki installation directory.

{
	"require": {
		"mediawiki/simple-batch-upload": "~1.0"
	}
}

(Alternatively you can download a tar ball or zip file from GitHub and extract it into the extensions directory of your MediaWiki installation.)

Then add the following line to your LocalSettings.php:

wfLoadExtension('SimpleBatchUpload');

It is possible to specify dedicated upload pages for specific file types by editing the MediaWiki:Simplebatchupload-parameters page. Each line 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 the subpage 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 to Special:BatchUpload/Pics.
• The title of this page will be Upload some pics!.
• The comment for the upload will be These 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.
