The image description pages are stored in the database, and a list of images is also stored there.

I'm converting a Moin site, and would like to do a batch upload of the images on that site (after appropriate name processing) so they are available in the Image: namespace throughout the MW. However investigation of the "images" directory shows a subdirectory that although simple, is somewhat cryptic. Is there documentation available as to what the end directory structure/naming needs to be for needs such as this?

I'm hoping we can simply move in a directory of images to the server dir structure, without have to do some sort of upload bot. I seem to recall that MW images are not stored in the DB but in the images directory, which makes me somewhat hopeful...
