Hi,
(1) Does anyone have a a script that runs through $wgUploadPath and converts the images to a /images/a/ab/foo.jpg structure ?
Someone already asked for this (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:$wgHashedUploadDirectory) and I searched for it in other places.
Reason: My wiki is growing, about 1000 images now and maybe I should act better now than later.
(2) A somewhat related question: Is it difficult to create a "commons wiki" for two existing wikis, simply by following instructions here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family#Scenario_5:_Multiple_wikis_... and then copy recursively both image directories into the new pool wiki?
I don't care if a few images are overwritten by others with the same name and I also could run the repair script on one wiki to fix wrong dimensions etc.
Another (stupid) solution would be to mass import images from one to each other once in a while (I don't have that many images).
Thanx for any tips ! - Daniel
