It may be exactly like that, which is why I was hoping there
would be a facility. I *assumed* that the media link would work for
mp3s or oggs (as documented) and attempt to play them. I don't want
anything to happen to the tarball except that it get downloaded. If
I use the media link on an arbitrary file (say, one that ends in .tar
or .tgz :-) ) would it just download the file?

Mediawiki is really fun and easy to use. I think
my initial
issues with it are all resolved. There is one small task I would like
to do using mediawiki, but it may be outside its baliwick. I want to
embed a tarball in a wiki page for download using syntax similar to
the image and media file links. This would be a sort of "arbitrary
file link" which would download the file for processing on the remote
computer.
I'm not sure how this is supposed to be different from uploading a file
and using a media link, as already supported...?
