On the Wiki?
« on: January 27, 2012, 11:02:03 am »
Hey guys. Sorry to sound like a total noob, but
I'm having trouble uploading files onto the Wiki.

Quote from: the Wiki
The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Autoconfirmed users.

The action I requested was to upload an image.

Is there somebody that can confirm me? I just want to be able to keep my entry in the Graphics Set Repository up to date.

Hey I've never done this before, but these pages might help?
Configuring file uploads
Managing files

As per that first link, the wiki managers have either enabled or disabled registered users from uploading files.  See this line...

To allow "autoconfirmed" (non-newbie) users to upload files:
$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['upload'] = true;

If you just registered, it might not be letting you upload files yet if you haven't been "autoconfirmed".  But I'm just guessing here.   :)   So.. If nobody can confirm you I guess it should happen automatically, or get someone else to upload?

Right. Okay.

It's not a huge deal,
I was just wondering.

Maybe I'll wait a bit and see if the issue resolves itself.

Thanks!

This. Wait a few days (four, if I remember correctly) and you'll get autoconfirmed, this is a protective measure against spambots.
