Local media for Wikibase

You can now use media files from your wiki inside of Wikibase.

Wikibase Local Media is a free and open-source extension for Wikibase. It adds a new "Media file" data type to Wikibase. This type works like the "Commons media file" data type, but for your local media files. It allows you to use images uploaded to your wiki as values in your Wikibase statements.

Professional Wiki created Wikibase Local Media. We are Wikibase developers that provide professional Wikibase software development and Wikibase hosting.

We thank Rhizome for funding initial development.
