MultiUpload is a script that allows you to select multiple files directly from the open dialog box on Special:Upload. You can also change their upload file names, descriptions and licences.

Installation

Configuration

All of MultiUpload configuration goes into the variable window.MultiUploadoption.

To avoid spam and image flood, the number of files that can be uploaded at a time is limited to user rights:

  • User: 20
  • Rollback and content-moderator: 30
  • Sysop/admin: 50
  • Bureaucrat and bot: 70
  • Staff, util, global bot, and wiki-specialist: 200

You can change this by adding the following configuration before the import statements. (Note that the value is capped at 100. If you set it beyond 100, it will revert to your user right limit.)

window.MultiUploadoption = {
    max: 30
};

It's also possible to change the default license displayed in every drop-down license menu:

window.MultiUploadoption = {
    defaultlicense: 'CC-BY-SA'
};

If you choose CC-BY-SA, you will have "This is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License" by default. To know which value to put, go to MediaWiki:Licenses on your wiki or type your language behind like MediaWiki:Licenses/fr for French. Then, put the text before the | of the license by default you want.

You can mix the two configurations in one assignment. For example, if you want to change your max to 50 and your license to "Public Domain":

window.MultiUploadoption = {
    max: 50,
    defaultlicense: 'PD'
};

Known issues

All URL encoded are not permitted for example, in textbox, Image-picture.png will fail but Image picture.png will work.
