SimpleBatchUpload MediaWiki Extension
Upload multiple files to your wiki with ease.

Usage Documentation
Only users with the
writeapi
right
can upload files via this extension. By default, all registered users in MediaWiki have this right.
Upload Page
You can upload files via the Special:BatchUpload
page.
You can navigate directly to Special:BatchUpload/CatPicture
to generate a
page in the File namespace
with {{CatPicture}}
as content for each file you upload.
Upload Button
Place the {{#batchupload:}}
wikitext parser function
into any wiki page to show an upload button.
Use {{#batchupload:CatPicture|Fluffy|Example}}
to create File namespace pages with
wikitext {{CatPicture|Fluffy|Example}}
for each upload via the button.
You can specify each file uploaded via a button should get a prefix.
{{#batchupload:+rename=!^(Fluff-[./+]*)?!iu -->Fluff-}}
gives each file you upload via the button the Fluff-
prefix, so that your Cat.png
file gets uploaded to File:Fluff-Cat.png
.
