Usage
To create a new upload field start by creating a new page in the MediaWiki namespace.
The format of the page name is: UploadField-field_type-Name
Valid types are:
- select - Select drop down. Supports option groups down to two depths.
- multiselect - Series of check boxes for multiple selection. Supports option groups down to two depths.
- text - Single line text input.
- textarea - Multiple line text input.
- category - Display a multiple select drop down of existing categories on the wiki.
If you wanted a drop down HTML select field named "Game" you would create the definition page: MediaWiki:UploadField-select-Game
Field Types
select and multiselect
These two types support two levels deep of listed options which is limited due to HTML specifications. Simply make a standard unordered list up to ** deep. Any blank lines and lines not starting with * with be ignored.
Each selection value should be in the format of: TemplateValue|Label Name
* Main Series ** Part1|This Amazing Game Part 1 ** Part2|This Amazing Game Part 2 * Combinations ** CE|Collector's Edition
Example: Selecting "This Amazing Game Part 1" from the "Game" field when uploading a new image would result in "Game=Part1" being added to the FileInfo template.
{{FileInfo
|Game=Part1
}}
text and textarea
The text and textarea types add their respective single line or multiple line text fields to the upload form. The content of the MediaWiki:UploadField-text(area)-Name definition page will be filled in as a default value and can be left blank.
category
The category type produces a multiple select check box list of existing wiki categories to choose from. There is no filtering and any content added to the MediaWiki:UploadField-category-Name definition page will be ignored.
