Otherwise you'll end up with absurdities such as internal links [[Image:Document.pdf]]. Anyway, I've found no better way to avoid the absurdity of such links except to rename the "Image" namespace to "Storehouse" ("Sklad" in Slovak, as the only appropriate word not containing a diacritic letter). I also changed the upload directory from /images to /sklad, the "Special" namespace to "Extra", and the "Main_Page" to "Welcome" ("Vitajte"). That's because the Slovak equivalents of "Image", "Special", "Main_Page" all contain diacritic letters, making frequently used URLs horrendously long or broken (depending on which browser and/or email program you use). I'm surprised none of these renamings took place on the Slovak Wikipedia to make it more user-friendly. -- Yours, Alex.

That did not seem to be correct, so I changed the "Image" namespace to "Sklad" (meaning "Storehouse" or "Depot" in Slovak) as a more appropriate description of the files contained in MediaWiki's upload directory. (There did not seem to be a way to enable 2 separate upload directories in MediaWiki, one for images and another directory for non-image uploaded files.) -- Yours, Alex.
