Hi Bryan, can you link me this name alias File, I have no clue what it is or what it will do = )
MediaWiki 1.14alpha, which is what Wikipedia is running, has renamed the "Image:" namespace to "File:", and a lot of Wikipedia editors have already switched to using the new name. If you want to copy templates from Wikipedia to a wiki running an older version and be sure that all images in them will work, you have (at least) three options:
1. Use an older version of the template, from November 2008 or earlier.
2. Replace all instances of "File:" (and "File talk:") with "Image:" (and "Image talk:", respectively) in the template code.
3. Add the following lines to the LocalSettings.php file for your wiki:
$wgNamespaceAliases['File'] = NS_IMAGE; $wgNamespaceAliases['File_talk'] = NS_IMAGE_TALK;
