Bug #: 28891
Summary: Regression? Clicking on non-existing image link does
not redirect to upload anymore
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16.4
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Uploading
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: burobj...@gmail.com
CC: bryan.tongm...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Problem description:
We have a wiki with lots of article's containing links to not yet existing
images. In this articles the links to this not yet existing images are used to
upload images. This makes it fairly easy to quickly add an image to a specific
article. Before version 1.16.3 the editors would click such a link and they
would be redirected to the upload form. Since 1.16.3 this does not work
anymore.
The reason why this doesn't work anymore is due to the recommended rewrite
rules to prevent IE6 XSS attacks suggested in 1.16.3 and 1.16.4 (see also bug
#28235 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28235).
Reproduction of the issue (tested in 1.16.4):
Remove the recommended rewrite rules from Apache, restart Apache and click on a
link of a not yet uploaded image. You will be redirected to the upload form.
Would be great if the original feature could be restored. Any clues on how to
achieve this? Contact me for more info. I'm more than willing to help solve
this.
Thanks for all the great work on Mediawiki!
