Bug #: 37039
Summary: UploadWizard should ignore filename conflicts with
previously deleted files
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: UploadWizard
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: e...@wikimedia.org
CC: asha...@wikimedia.org, ne...@wikimedia.org
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Right now UW throws an error on the last step if a file with the same name (!)
was previously deleted. The error message is:
"There was a file by this name, (...), but it was deleted and you can not
reupload the file. If your file is different, try renaming it."
This is just user-hostile and unnecessary, getting into the way of the user
just as they're about to wrap up the upload. It's useful to detect and block
files with previously deleted contents (!), but a previously deleted name
should be quietly ignored (and is indeed quietly ignored by the old upload
form), instead of being a blocking error.
We already have the blacklist and many other error conditions so I think we can
safely get rid of this one.
