If I upload an html file to the MediaWiki, it treats it like a media item - a link to the file takes me to a page which shows revision history rather than the page itself. Is there a syntax to link directly to the page?

Ah, great, I'd been about to ask about that, for html etc. Except, I'm not being able to upload html files, either. I've got DefaultSettings reading: $wgFileExtensions = array( "png", "jpg", "jpeg", "ogg", "htm", "html", "pdf", "gif" ); And I've de-commented the disable in LocalSettings. The other file types work just fine, including the other ones I added, gif and pdf, but I can't get html files to work, it just tells me that ' ".html" is not a recommended image file format. '
Do you know what I'm missing?

.html is in the extension blacklist, since arbitrary HTML files can be used in cross-site scripting attacks to try to grab session and saved password cookies and such.
If you're sure you want to allow it, remove it from the blacklist.
