We already have http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgFileExtensions
plus we have also a pretty complex MIME/content type detection mechanism (see
also http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File_upload)

some.file -> uploaded as (autodetected), add default extension
file.jpg  -> uploaded as the JPEG file, keep JPG extension
file.jpeg -> uploaded as the JPEG file, keep JPEG extension
file.svg  -> uploaded as the SVG file, keep SVG extension

But there is a problem too, suppose I want to upload today

some.file.webm -> upload as (autodected), I will probably get an error

but once bug 30653 is fixed, it will become:

some.file.webm -> upload as WebM file, use .webm extension

do you think this is too confusing?

(however, to add some confusion, there is bug 38927 as well, did bug 30653 got
fixed?).
