After much head scratching I realized what you were saying. I allowed
for UPLOADS in the LocalSettings page. Then clicked the link, and
sucked the downloaded image in.
It is odd that they don't come across. It would see that if the images
were defaulted to the images directory then simply putting them in there
would work.
But greater minds than mine <G>
Thanks again

Don't save it directly to the images directory, upload it using that
URL. I'm not sure why the actual file isn't exported, but it does the
same on all installations I've tried, so it's nothing you've done
wrong.

Gary,
Hope this isn't a bother but
On the help page you referenced was this line
"For the images this only copies the image descriptions. You need also
to upload them on your wiki. Although not complete, at least this gets
you started on a decent help system."
I have 'saved' off an image from that mediaWiki page to the images
directory (made sense to me :)
On the mediaWiki page for Help:Navigation it shows the following lik
for
the 'Tools' image next to "Tip for
wiki.." in Navigation section.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Image:Tools_clipart.png
On our local page it says
ools_clipart.png
I would have thought that the page source would have been the same.
And
that both of them would have defaulted to the IMAGES
directory in the
mediaWiki directory tree.
Have I just missed some setup item or do I have to edit source to
reference the images directory?
Thanks

Thank you very much. That is exactly what I was looking for. I knew
I
had seen the import/export bits and just could not
find them again.
This is a very expansive system, so much to learn and remember.
Thanks again

Are you referring to instructions for users on using MediaWiki (not
code documentation)?
There are pages you can import yourself; see
http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Copying for instructions.

Quite often that is where sw falls down.
I am sure that I read somewhere there is a way to have the
documentation
all localized. I have searched but can not find
the info now.
Could someone please point me to the right location.
Thanks so much
