Ah, great, I'd been about to ask about that, for html etc. Except, I'm
not being able to upload html files, either. I've got DefaultSettings
reading:
$wgFileExtensions = array( "png", "jpg", "jpeg", "ogg", "htm", "html",
"pdf", "gif" );
And I've de-commented the disable in LocalSettings. The other file
types work just fine, including the other ones I added, gif and pdf,
but I can't get html files to work, it just tells me that ' ".html" is
not a recommended image file format. '

Do you know what I'm missing?

.html is in the extension blacklist, since arbitrary HTML files can be
used in cross-site scripting attacks to try to grab session and saved
password cookies and such.

If you're sure you want to allow it, remove it from the blacklist.
