Ah!  Ok, you're the system administrator of the Mediawiki system; now I'm 
following...

Honestly, I'm not the best person to ask since I haven't enabled SVG before.  I 
would suggest that 
you first determine whether the problem is Mediawiki or Firefox.

When you upload files, there should be a link to see a list of uploaded files 
-- the upload log. 
See if the file appears there in that list and if clicking on the file allows 
you to see it.  Of 
course, also make sure that other image files work (.jpg, etc.).

If there is a problem, then you should double-check the instructions I sent to 
you before -- the 
ones I haven't yet done.  :-)

For SVG, there are more things you have to do (like select a renderer, etc.).  
That page lists them.

As for Firefox, one thing you can try is use another browser like IE.  Also, in 
Firefox, there seems 
to be an option to enable SVG.  In the URL box, type "about:config".  Agree to 
the warning and 
search for "svg.enabled".  When you find it, it obviously should be set to 
"true".

Hope this helps!  If not, then I'm afraid you'll have to wait for someone else 
to help you as I 
don't have any more ideas...  :-(
