Thanks. I changed the namespace names in the language files, but it causes
me some problems...
All old [[Image:filename.jpg]] links on individual pages still refer to the
[[Image:filename.jpg]] page, which now doesn't exist.
Also, for some reason it fucks up the CSS for the new File: namespace
pages...
I have absolutely no idea on how to run a bot - is there a not overtly
complicated way out of this?
Best wishes,
Morten :-)

namespace now, when we begin to upload other kind of files than images.
What is the best way to go around making this change?
You can just change the namespace name in languages/Language.php, or
whatever langauge you use.
Will I have to go through the Sisyfos task of
changing all the links
pointing to [[Image:filename.jpg]]'s etc. ?
You can run a bot instead, and you can preserve the "Image" namespace
name as a "redirect" to the "File" namespace instead of changing it
completely. To preserve it, just change the namespace name in
languages/Language.php.
(I assume you refer to your local installation, not the whole software.)
