Summary: New usergroup: "Allow large uploads"
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Uploading
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: ft2.w...@gmail.com
In the same way that some users can create large numbers of user accounts,
because they work in that area and are trusted to do so, there are some users
who work in the image/media arena who feel restricted by the limit on upload
size for high quality uploads and restorations. Files of over 100 MB are
routinely discussed by featured image uploaders; larger files may also be
appropriate in some cases.
Can we have a "large uploads" usergroup so that there's some mechanism to allow
at least some users to upload large media files without restriction?
It would be a good solution to the problem of setting a common limit which
(however large) some media editors in good standing may find restrictive.
