I was curious about this and looked it up. The .cmd extension signifies an executable Windows file. It executes when opened, apparently.

Thanks alot! That got the upload file link working for me, now I'm having another problem. I want to be able to upload files with the extension of .cmd

As Rob suggested, I read deeper and found that I have to add this to localsettings.php:

$wgFileExtensions = array( 'gif', 'cmd', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'doc', 'txt' );

which I did, but I still get a message saying ".Cmd" is not a recommended image file format.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks! Mike

How would I go about allowing users to upload files to my wiki? I've briefly read through the instructions on uploading images, but my wiki doesn't even have an upload page link in the left pane.

Thank you! Mike
