1. pages can be renamed, deleted or whatnot. for that you need wiki admin 
access (I think the board and a couple more people have that access).
2. regarding upload:
 - we can do one-off's quite easily, just mail me or another wiki/web admin 
with a link, and I can d/l it directly to where you want it
 - general rule exceptions: I'm a bit worried if we increse the limit 
significantly that we end up with things that are cruft, and just bloat the 
wiki/website. but that's up for debate.

Regards,
Alex
