Functionality

Campaigns

UploadWizard can behave differently for different tasks, it allows defining such sets of configuration, also called campaigns, which can then be put into affect by specifying a single argument in the url via which the UploadWizard is accessed. When navigating to Special:UploadWizard, no campaign will be used, so you will get the default configuration. To get the configuration for a campaign, add ?campaign=name to the url, where "name" is the name of the campaign. More infos: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UploadWizard/Campaigns

Multiple file uploader

The user can upload many files at the same times, BUT each file has to be selected separately (no folder selection)
