@Wirtschaftsinformatik_hbs Unfortunately it is not possible to upload files that are not of a single audio, video, or photo format. PowerPoint and Word files cannot be uploaded as images, since they are not images, video or audio.

But in Wikipedia they say it's possible.

It is possible to upload any formats I think.

Not with Special:Upload it isn’t... Special:Upload is only for uploading media files (image, video, audio). There’s probably another extension or config feature somewhere that lets you upload non-media files, but I have no clue what/where it is.

Can you please check how i can upload the documents?

Thank you :)

Special:Upload

@John you can only upload media files (image, audio, video) with Special:Upload. You cannot upload Microsoft PowerPoint Presentations or Word Documents, which is what this user is trying to do.

Since when? I’ve uploaded all sorts in yet past with it.

AmandaCath added a comment.Sep 19 2018, 13:06

Permitted file types: gif, ico, jpeg, jpg, ogg, png, svg, pdf, djvu.

Those are all media files. Even if it is possible, how on earth would you upload a Microsoft Word document or a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to a wiki anyway? Microsoft files, unless shared public in OneDrive, are private to the owner only and are stored locally without backup.

Yes, because that’s what $wgFileExtensions is set to. Hence this request to allow more to be added on the wiki.

@John ^

I should also probably note that a PowerPoint Presentation is probably far too large to be handled via on-wiki. The average file size of a PowerPoint is anywhere from 50 MB to in excess of 1 GB.

I've done " .docx, .pptx and .vsd" but i have no idea what the file ending would be for Visual Studio code?

No response in a week. @Wirtschaftsinformatik_hbs reopen if you can answer paladox’s question.
