Hi. I've got fed-up of the "added by demo-user-page-link." Is there a, non-JavaScript, way of changing this to "Uploaded by." I can't find anything in Special:AllMessages. I'm only asking because it seems incorrect when I use an image another user has uploaded, and it says "added by". Well... no I added it to the page, they uploaded it. &mdash; Sigh, sorry for the rant.

PS Will of course cope with js answer, but I'd prefer not. :) Starfleet   Academy  08:39, March 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Have you tried changing one of the following MediaWiki messages?
 * MediaWiki:Oasis-content-picture-added-by
 * MediaWiki:Phalanx-stats-table-user
 * MediaWiki:Myhome-feed-added-by
 * MediaWiki:Related-videos-added-by
 * MediaWiki:Plb-parser-preview-image-user
 * "Oasis-content-picture-added-by" seems to be the most likely culprit. --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 09:23, March 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Um - how do you even change it? I've been having the same problem with my wiki.


 * Grrrr! I forgot to search for the skin! How silly of me. Thanks Gardimuer. Oh and @MarvelRiddle: If your an admin you can edit mediawiki pages. Go to your wiki and search for "MediaWiki:Oasis-content-picture-added-by". Make sure that you don't miss capitalize let alone miss-spell. You should see a box with "Added by" in it. Edit the page and change it to whatever you want. I'm going to change mine to "Uploaded by". :) Starfleet   Academy  00:27, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

 * Just noticed that you'll have to wait for the server cash&eacute; to update the pages. (or manually edit them, and without changing anything, publish again.) :) Starfleet   Academy  02:47, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
