The [SimpleBatchUpload](https://professional.wiki/en/extension/simplebatchupload) extension provides basic, no-frills uploading of multiple files to MediaWiki.

It is maintained by [Professional Wiki](https://professional.wiki/). [Contact us](https://professional.wiki/en/contact) for commercial support or [MediaWiki development](https://professional.wiki/en/mediawiki-development).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.0 or later
- MediaWiki 1.43 or later

Use SimpleBatchUpload 2.x for older versions

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Composer

[](#composer)

```
COMPOSER=composer.local.json composer require --no-update mediawiki/simple-batch-upload:^3.0
```

```
composer update mediawiki/simple-batch-upload --no-dev -o
```

### Manual installation

[](#manual-installation)

[Download](https://github.com/ProfessionalWiki/SimpleBatchUpload/releases) and place the files in a directory called `SimpleBatchUpload` in your `extensions/` folder.

Enable the extension by adding the following to your LocalSettings.php:

```
wfLoadExtension( 'SimpleBatchUpload' );
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

See the [SimpleBatchUpload usage documentation](https://professional.wiki/en/extension/simplebatchupload).

Customization
-------------

[](#customization)

It is possible to specify dedicated parameter sets for the upload of specific file types by editing the *MediaWiki:Simplebatchupload-parameters* page. Each line of that page is considered as one set of parameters.

Available parameters are:

- Name of template to be stored as text on initial upload
- Upload comment
- Title line of the Special:BatchUpload page

Parameters should be separated by pipes (|).

The line to be used is selected by appending the name of the template as the subpage to the URL of the Special:BatchUpload page.

**Example:**

Consider the parameter line

```
Pics | These pics were uploaded using [[mw:Extension:SimpleBatchUpload{{!}}SimpleBatchUpload]] | Upload some pics!

```

- This can be selected by going to *Special:BatchUpload/Pics*.
- The title of this page will be *Upload some pics!*.
- The comment for the upload will be *These pics were uploaded using \[\[mw:Extension:SimpleBatchUpload{{!}}SimpleBatchUpload\]\]*.
- If a file with that name is uploaded for the first time it will have `{{Pics}}` as wikitext.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Available configuration options:

- `$wgSimpleBatchUploadMaxFilesPerBatch` - Array defining the maximum number of files that can be uploaded each time depending on the user group.
     Default:

```
$wgSimpleBatchUploadMaxFilesPerBatch = [
	'*' => 1000,
];
```

**Note:** Be aware that this is not the right setting to completely block file uploads! Users can still use the normal file upload or the MediaWiki API. See the paragraph on user permissions on [Configuring file uploads](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads#Upload_permissions)on mediawiki.org.
