Hello folks!
I recently thought, that it'd be more convenient for my main wiki to change the wikia uploader slightly. (The one, on the editor page, on the siderail.)
I'd like to change the code that is inserted after pressing "Add Image". It normally is "[[File:filename.png]]". But since on our wiki we barely use images like that, but more often embedded into templates, it'd be better if I could change that inserted code to just "filename.png". A lot of newbie editors tend to make mistakes because of that preset code.
Another thing is, I'd like to put the jpg extension into a blacklist, making it impossible for people to upload jpg. (We have a policy to upload png instead.)
On the source code of an editing page, I saw there's a "file_blacklist" and "file_extension", but I really have no clue how to change them.
Also, is it possible to add a summary field to the uploader? Sometimes it's useful to give a source, and having that field right on the uploader page is more convenient. It also encourages other editors to add some summary.
I'm sorry for all those questions. I have no experience with changing existing scripts of wiki (I'm not even sure where they are stored, or if they can be viewed publicly, I found something on code.google.com but I'm not sure if that's it.)
I would be very grateful, if someone could help me out a bit or at least give me a hint on how to start.
Thanks in advance!
