Hi, can anyone help me interprete the following passage from Mediawiki.org:$wgUseSharedUploads<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUseSharedUploads> :
If you operate multiple wikis, you can define a shared upload path using $wgSharedUploadPath<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSharedUploadPath>. If $wgUseSharedUploads is set, the wiki will look in the shared repository if no file of the given name is found in the local repository (for [[Image:..]], [[Media:..]] links). Thumbnails will also be looked for and generated in this directory. Uploads to the wiki will NOT be put there - they will be put into $wgUploadDirectory <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUploadDirectory> . Presently, I am operating multiple wikis and I think this is a good idea, but the above instructions assume some background knowledge and are incomprehensible for a novice like me. Supposing I create a new wiki and database just to upload images and article categories (as in Wikipedia). How should I go about doing it?
