'''Admin tip''': You can customize the links in the navigation section via [[Special:Allmessages]]. For example edit [[MediaWiki:Sitesupport]] (displayed name) and [[MediaWiki:Sitesupport-url]] (target page). Or create a menu on your own in [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]. | |||

* ''Upload file'' displays a special page that allows logged-in users to upload images and other files to the wiki. Uploaded files can be linked-from or embedded-in wiki pages. Uploading files, viewing files on the server, including them in wiki pages and managing the uploaded files is discussed in the [[Help:Managing files|managing files]] section of this manual. This is not displayed if file uploading has been disabled or not enabled in the first place. | * ''Upload file'' displays a special page that allows logged-in users to upload images and other files to the wiki.

** '''Admin tip''': To enable file uploading someone with access to the MediaWiki installation files needs to edit the codeLocalSettings.php/code file and uncomment or add the option code$wgEnableUploads = true;/code. Uploaded files will be stored in the images folder specified by the code$wgUploadPath/code variable in the codeLocalSettings.php/code. This directory must be writable if file uploads is enabled. The [[metawikipedia:LocalSettings.php#Upload_Location|upload location]] and [[metawikipedia:LocalSettings.php#Image_Uploads#Image_Uploads|image uploads]] settings are described in more detail on the MetaWiki [[metawikipedia:LocalSettings.php|LocalSettings.php]] page. | |||
* The ''Special pages'' tool lists the MediaWiki special pages. In MediaWiki terminology, a special page is one that presents information about the Wiki and/or allows access to administration activities for the wiki. For example, a list of users registered with the wiki, statistics about the wiki such as the number of pages and number of page edits, system logs, a list of orphaned pages, and so on. These special pages are commonly generated when the special page is loaded rather than being stored in the wiki database. | * The ''Special pages'' tool lists the MediaWiki special pages.
