You'll probably need to override MIME type checking as well. See <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Mime_type_detection#Forbidden_files> Note that the MIME blacklist exists for security reasons. If untrusted users are allowed to upload files, this can open up significant security holes. -- Alex (wikipedia:en:User:Mr.Z-man) _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
