Forum:Zip file upload

I want to upload a zip file to http://ru.jfx.wikia.com wiki. The message what I see is '".zip" is an unwanted file type. List of allowed file types: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, ico, ogg, pdf, xcf, svg, mid, jl'

What should I do to allow zip file uploading on the wiki. Should I ask administrators to do that or is there any others way?


 * Right, we have exactly this problem at http://jfx.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page


 * We need to upload few jar files with examples of Java code/classes inside. However, it seems to be impossible. If anyone is aware about ways of solving this - it'd be mostly appreciated.

 * I dont think permitting archive file formats would be benefical to any wiki. Archives can contain anything, from "illegal" MP3 to more malicious things. It could impact on other wikias...
 * If you want to put code on a wiki page, you can. Directly on the page. But, you can put it in a kind of scrolling boxe so it dont clutter the page with big blob of code. TulipVorlax 18:14, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
