I had a similar requirement ("Just upload the darn thing.") and wrote
SimpleBatchUpload ([0]).
It uses a similar approach as MsUpload, but works from its own Special page instead of the
editor from.
It presents a simple page with an upload button. Just drag and drop files on the button
and be done.

It lets you upload files right from the editor, and upload multiple files at once. You
can specify file names as you upload them, but not add anything to the files' pages.
(Don't be put off by the 'ms' in the name: it's nothing to do with
Microsoft formatted files!)

Greetings everybody,
I am the administrator of a private mediawiki installation for my

Apparently one of the limits to adoption of the wiki is the cumbersome file
upload process. I have installed Upload Wizard and customized the licensing
options available to have the bare minimum but the multi-step process is
still criticized. Just being forced by the UI to add a description to each
file is apparently is too much.
I therefore have to write our very own, supersimplified upload page.
I'll obviously have to learn how to write Extensions and then I'll be able
to have a look at the code of the Upload Wizard for inspiration. Are there
any additional source of information on this topic that you'd recommend?
Kind regards,
Manu
