I'd like to change the display of the list of files that were uploaded to my wiki. I'm using 1.6.7. Right now they'r displayed on Special:Imagelist and if someone wants to check what pages link to a given image they have to follow the link (desc) in front of a given document.
You're using an out of date version of the software which contains known security vulnerabilities; I strongly recommend you upgrade to at least 1.6.10 and remember to actually pay attention to the announcement notices, which are also posted to http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce.
I would also strongly recommend anyone still using 1.6.x series and who are able to upgrade to PHP 5, whose host supports PHP 5 through an alternate extension (see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Robchurch/Getting_PHP_5_on_a_cheap_host), or who can move to a hosting provider which provides PHP 5 in some form to consider their migration path to MediaWiki 1.9.x series. The 1.6.x series reaches the end-of-life period in April, that is, less than a month.
If possible I'd like to merge both sites (i.e. list with description of what pages link to a given document) and have sth like:
Name of the document, what wikipages link to it.
Is there a way to achieve it? What should be changed?
You can write a special page extension which does this.
