Summary: Special uploadtext for the reupload form
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Uploading
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
I see there was once in r45498 the ability to specify via "&uploadmsg=suffix" a
custom uploadtext (which would be located at MediaWiki:uploadtext-suffix and
subpages thereof). This was reverted in r46394.
While the change would not have "solved" the uselang hacks at the Commons (and
elsewhere, en-WP used something similar last time I looked), it would still be
useful with the new reupload form, because it would easily allow us to define a
new uploadtext for reuploads.
Since the reupload form works differently (locked dest file name, different
label and semantics for description, no license dropdown), it makes sense to
have a different introductory text. It *could* be done through yet another
uselang hack, but that'd be awful, since the uselang hack requires also to
create subpages of a ton of other interface messages. It'd be far cleaner if we
could have back this "&uploadmsg=..." feature. A sample uploadtext-reupload
exists at [[:commons:MediaWiki:Uploadtext-reupload]]. (Currently not
translated, since the feature doesn't exist anymore.)
