Brion described it in detail in Vol 12, Issue 13. Basically, the
subdirectory an image is in is based on its md5 sum. You could hack
MediaWiki so that it does not add the sum. But Brion Vibber knows this
soooooooooooo much better than I.

It has been chosen for me to not enable image uploads
for regular users through the MediaWiki interface, however I still wish to allow my Wiki
to use images as if they had already been uploaded. This would presumably require me to
manually copy files I wish to "upload" to the /images directory (and any
applicable subdirectories) and also manually create a proper entry in the
"image" table in the MySQL database.
So far, my attempts to simply insert the name of the image in the img_name field and
manually copy my file to "/wiki/images" have not worked. Obviously I have zero
understanding of what the fields in the image table are supposed to contain.
Can somebody please post some valid data from their image table in their database along
with the proper sub-directory structure beneath the "images" or
"upload" directory (if applicable)?
Thanks!
Rick
