Summary: Special:FileDuplicateSearch user interaction is utterly baffling Product: MediaWiki Version: unspecified Platform: All URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:FileDuplicateSearch ?filename=Elephant_Mud_Bath.ogg OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: Normal Component: Special pages AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org ReportedBy: br...@wikimedia.org A few things I note trying out this special page: * There's no explanation when you get no matches -- did you misspell something? Did it just break? Did it submit correctly? Who knows! * It searches for matches in the local image database only, and does not return any results from remote repositories (Commons etc) * It gets the hash from the local image database only, and cannot search for local duplicates of a given remote file. I'd recommend this get redone to: * clarify when the requested file could not be found * use FileRepo system correctly to query both sources and matches out of all repositories -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
