Original description:
I was searching for help and came across others with my concern. This request might have already been made, but I didn't find it when I performed a search. Thank you for your help\!

Batch Uploads?

Is there any way to "upload" a large batch of pictures to a local instance of mediawiki? Is there a workaround? I know this sounds stupid \(just link to them\) but I'd like them to have pages, thumbnails, etc...

http://pywikipediabot.sf.net/

A: There is no current way that I know \(as of v1.4.2\) .. I have the same concern.. it would be nice to be able to batch upload. -- Sy / \(talk\)

Copying the relevant part of the CGI task description:

The upload.py script should be enhanced so that:

the class "UploadRobot" supports uploading a list of files to a MediaWiki site, and
the main() function allows command line options that can be used to instruct the bot to upload all files contained within a local directory using the same description for each upload file.
