I am running a local host web-server for MediaWiki (XAMPP).

By default, we must use upload extensions to upload images. These images are stored in the WIKI_HOME/images folder and some records are inserted in the database.

I use this wiki on a local machine and for myself only. I need the speed so I tried to copy an image to WIKI_HOME/images instead of uploading it using the upload extensions. But it does not show up in the wiki. Is there any way to do it?

You can bulk upload images from the local server using the UploadLocal extension or the importImages.php script. You could set up importImages.php to run on a regular basis to import any images in a specific folder.
