Another useful tool to the Administrator is the bulk image importer. To import all the screenshots that I used at the start of this presentation, I did the following:
<source lang="bash">
php importImages.php --user=Freephile --comment='Set of screenshots of sites using MediaWiki [[Category:MediaWiki Sites]]' ~/Desktop/mediawiki/snaps/
</source>
Note how using a Category tag in the comment will automatically place the images in the Category specified.
# Conversion of existing wikis and documents [[Format conversion]]
# [[API]]s are very useful to developers. [[mw:Developers|MediaWiki Developers]] can use the [[mw:API|Application Programming Interface for MediaWiki]] which gets exposed at /api.php, as well as the http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot framework which helps to automate manipulation of the wiki.

=== Database ===
The MediaWiki software uses a MySQL database backend to store content and other data. The [[MediaWiki/Sql]] article offers a couple helpful queries; whereas [[mw:Manual:Database_access]] covers this area more completely including info on API functions and wrappers.
