The new wiki only allows uploading of files with png, gif, jpg, or jpeg extensions. There's also a 2MB limit on file size. That's not something that can be changed in the admin interface; Jeremy Newman would have to do that. IMO, since editing is now locked down to "Trustworthy" users, it should be safe to allow other types of files (at least PDF) to be uploaded.

For now you can link to the files on the old wiki, but since the old wiki might go away at some point, that's not a long term solution.
