Exporting and importing images in MediaWiki

Question

How do I export and import images from and into a MediaWiki?

Answer 1

There is no automatic way to export images like you export pages, you have to right click on them, and choose "save image". To get the history of the Image page, use the Special:Export page.

To import images use the Special:Upload page on your wiki. If you have lots of them, you can use the Import Images script. Note: you generally have to be in the sysop group to upload images.
