Web browser: --- 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. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
