Is there anyway we could be allowed to submit .ogg files?

For national anthems and the like? I should think so... I'm new to administration on Wikis but I'll certainly see what I can do.

In exchange would you mind adding this template to MicrasWiki?
I tried myself but it didn't want to work.

EDIT: No can do, I'm afraid- I need to be able to access the actual php files behind the Wiki which I don't have permission to do. I'll talk to Spangle for you.

The template relies solely on an extension, available on http://mediawiki.org . Something with a simple scripting language (those {{{#if:}}}s).

But it can slow things down, I'm afraid.

Note to Spangle as I haven't seen him on MSN for ages: I can and will happily do this if I can get FTP to the MicroWiki directory - I've done it for VeracWiki.

Pawel, you're talking about parserfunctions which is something else that requires FTP 8)

Mediawiki slang is full of many words for what I call 'extension'. The difference is how they are added, but all of them require FTP access. :P

Sorry only noticed your post about an hour ago, sorry for the delay. Due to the lack of ftp access creating images like a military conflict box that are the same as the ones on wikipedia are beyond me i'm afraid.

Before 2 days ago I had never edited nor created a wiki page anywhere, ever! so I'm afraid my skills and knowledge are extremely limited to say the least. However I have tried to make one for you, hope it's ok?
