Don't keep that in mind; it's not true. Put that out of mind.
MediaWiki stores some image metadata in the database, but the actual
image blob is stored externally, in the "upload" dir.
Oh, I thought that was just a cache, but I see that the mw_image table
has no image data blob.
(Mine is in the "images" directory, not upload. It appears to be a
hashed directory structure, which is why I didn't notice my images were
there.)
Sorry for the misinformation!
