This script/stylesheet is for PERSONAL use only!
You are free to install this script/stylesheet for yourself, but it is not allowed to be used wiki-wide (e.g., in MediaWiki:ImportJS, MediaWiki:Common.js, MediaWiki:Common.css, MediaWiki:Fandomdesktop.js, MediaWiki:Fandomdesktop.css, or MediaWiki:FandomMobile.css), as it would violate Fandom's Terms of Use.
(See the customization policy)
MultiUpload is a script that allows you to select multiple files directly from the open dialog box on Special:Upload. You can also change their upload file names, descriptions and licences.
Installation
Configuration
All of MultiUpload configuration goes into the variable window.MultiUploadoption.
To avoid spam and image flood, the number of files that can be uploaded at a time is limited to user rights:
- User: 20
- Rollback and content-moderator: 30
- Sysop/admin: 50
- Bureaucrat and bot: 70
- Staff, util, global bot, and wiki-specialist: 200
You can change this by adding the following configuration before the import statements. (Note that the value is capped at 100. If you set it beyond 100, it will revert to your user right limit.)
window.MultiUploadoption = {
max: 30
};
It's also possible to change the default license displayed in every drop-down license menu:
window.MultiUploadoption = {
defaultlicense: 'CC-BY-SA'
};
If you choose CC-BY-SA, you will have "This is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License" by default. To know which value to put, go to MediaWiki:Licenses on your wiki or type your language behind like MediaWiki:Licenses/fr for French. Then, put the text before the | of the license by default you want.
It's also possible to change the default description displayed in every drop-down license menu. This is mainly useful to add one or more Categories to many files at once:
window.MultiUploadoption = {
defaultdescription: '[[Category:Screenshots]]'
};
You can mix multiple configurations in one assignment. For example, if you want to change your max to 50 and your license to "Public Domain":
window.MultiUploadoption = {
max: 50,
defaultlicense: 'PD'
};
Using configuration options with Fandom Developers Wiki scripts
The instructions on this page describe how to use configuration options with a script. Here on the Fandom Developers Wiki, many scripts provide optional configuration settings as a mean to alter or enhance the default behavior of the script. When installing configuration options in your JavaScript file, please note that they need to go above the import statement in order to work — unless the directions say otherwise. In case MediaWiki:ImportJS is used to load the scripts, it will be executed last.
// 1. AjaxRC import statement
importArticles({
type: 'script',
articles: [
'u:dev:MediaWiki:AjaxRC.js'
]
});
// 2. AjaxRC configuration option
window.ajaxRefresh = 30000;
// 1. AjaxRC configuration option
window.ajaxRefresh = 30000;
// 2. AjaxRC import statement
importArticles({
type: 'script',
articles: [
'u:dev:MediaWiki:AjaxRC.js'
]
});
