Hello again :-)
I manage several mediawikis.
I would like to allow a new "data" namespace, similar to the image one, but using a new separate folder and a much simpler sheme, that is The sysop would be the only one to have the rights on this folder.
upload only by ftp, no special page needed
I would like to use a name space to have a simpler syntax for users, [[data:xxxxxxxxxxx.tgz]] in place of the whole link I need now.
I can make a reasonably simple php hack.
however I don't mind to hack again and again for each new release.
Do you have any guideline for me showing how I can do this? I plan to use the [[image: code, and make it very simple for my use
thanks jdd
