Bug #: 39344
Summary: MediaWiki:Fileexists should be shown on Special:Upload
whenever it applies (&wpForReUpload=1 should not
suppress it)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Uploading
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: rd...@hotmail.com
CC: bryan.tongm...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
MediaWiki:Fileexists (a message about overwriting an existing file, when the
user has permission to do so) should be shown on Special:Upload whenever it
applies. Currently the message is suppressed if wpForReUpload=1 is set (as it
is from the "Upload a new version of this file" link below the File History).
Just because the user has specifically said "I want to reupload" doesn't mean
they shouldn't be reminded of the rules for doing so.
Alternatively, since the main motivation for this bug is Commons' need to
remind users of its overwriting rules, there could maybe be a different
setting, wpForSharedReUpload, which is used on shared repositories like
Commons, where stability of images is more important and so not overwriting
images when you shouldn't is more important. And that setting would either
display MediaWiki:Fileexists or a new message.
