Enable uploading
File uploads are an often-used feature of MediaWiki, but are disabled by default in all current release versions. To enable them, first make the upload directory (default images) writable by the web server (chmod 777 or allow the Apache user to write to it, etc.) then set $wgEnableUploads to true in LocalSettings.php (i.e. "$wgEnableUploads = true;"). See Manual:Configuring file uploads for more information.
Next, make sure that your upload directory is "World Writable" Finally, Click on Special Pages and Then Upload Special:Upload

Inline Images
Problem
You want images to show up in your wiki from another site without having to upload the images.
Solution
Inline images are disabled now for security reasons. If you are comfortable with the risk, you can add
$wgAllowExternalImages = true;
to your LocalSettings.php file
Caution
see Copyright. Beware that loading images from a 3rd party site is called bandwidth theft. Your visitor could also be in for nasty surprise
