A few issues with uploading and addressing files.
First of all, I can't find a sensible way of addressing an uploaded file as a URL. I seem to end up with bizarre urls, such as http://myserver/images/e/eb/IST.jpg
Where what I really want is something like http://myserver/uploads/IST.jpg http://myserver/mediawiki/uploads/IST.jpg
without the random URL.
This means I can reliably refer to such files from the template or from anywhere else, and then the versioning can look after serving up the latest version of the file, and people can manage it as per normal uploaded files.
Secondly, I'm confused as to why all uploaded files are treated as images, when for our purposes, things like pdfs and other documents uploaded by people would be really helpful, and as far as I can see, this functionality is identical, but somehow there is an inbuilt assumption that all files are images, in terms of the filter for file upload, but also in all of the referencing syntax.
Glad of any suggestions.
