Bug #: 34969
Summary: Properly disable Special:MIMESearch
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: b...@mzmcbride.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Currently when you visit
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MIMESearch>, you get a form that
looks like this:
---
This page enables the filtering of files for their MIME type. Input:
contenttype/subtype, e.g. image/jpeg.
MIME search
MIME type: [ ] [Search]
---
However, this feature has apparently been disabled. So no matter the user
input, you get an error (from
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MIMESearch?title=Special%3AMIMESearch&mime=image%2Fjpeg>):
---
This page enables the filtering of files for their MIME type. Input:
contenttype/subtype, e.g. image/jpeg.
This special page is disabled for performance reasons.
---
This is brain-dead behavior. Don't give a user an input form that doesn't work.
When a user loads <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MIMESearch>, it
should simply say: This page has been disabled due to $wgMiserMode or whatever.
The current behavior of "sure, input your MIME type... just kidding!" is wrong.
