Collaborative Art Page Test
I (Cimreau) am using this page to experiment with the potential to use a wiki page as an imageboard for artistic collaboration.

Ideally, such a page should enable uploading by anyone of both readily viewable files (jpg, gif, png) and more complicated art files with layers (i.e. xcf, psd, tar) maybe even 3d files.

Ideally I'd like the post-reply potential of reddit or 4chan, with the potential to include embedded files. We might end up with people having to host their files through GoogleDrive or something though.

I'll update the text when I'm done with it, but if for some reason I forget please feel free to delete this page any time after May 31st, 2015.



Okay...so now I see that we could use that upload function linked in the Toolbox section of the navbar to the left, but the only supported file types are "pdf, png, jpg, jpeg, ogg, doc, xls, ppt, mp3, sxc, nse, svg".

Is it possible to expand that list? Oh okay, yes it is. From this page I gather that we just need to update the $wgFileExtensions in LocalSettings.php to allow other file types to be uploaded to this wiki.
