MediaWiki

MediaWiki is the wiki software we used for Sasara.moe. Its derived from Wikimedia Foundation projects like Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.

Image uploads

Enabling uploads

Open LocalSettings.php, and change this option:

$wgEnableUploads = true;

Make sure the uploads folder is writable by the web server process. We run ours in a separate zfs dataset with execution off and quotas for security:

zfs create $DATASET/wiki/uploads
zfs set exec=off $DATASET/wiki/uploads
zfs set quota=10G $DATASET/wiki/uploads

Improve quality

The default quality setting for image compression is 80, which isn't great.

Open LocalSettings.php, and add the following option under wgEnableUploads:

$wgJpegQuality = 96;

Increasing size

Open php.ini, and change this to what you want:

upload_max_filesize = 8M

If you run nginx, you may need to add this to your nginx.conf file to prevent HTTP 413 Entity Too Large errors:

http {
    client_max_body_size 8M;
}
