           Summary: File moving error
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
               URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Vill
                    age_pump_(technical)&oldid=278063006#File_renaming_error
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Images
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


When moving files to new names on enwiki I encountered the following error. 
The move completes as normal, but the script generates the following error

        * Api error: Unknown error: ``'' - unknownerror

The image description page moves to the new name and leaves a redirect at the
old name, but the file itself stays at the old page.  

Places it has happened are on are:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Are_You_Man_Enough.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vermont_Street_(San_Francisco).jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Honey.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jewel.jpg

With Are you man enough, I was able to move and delete the file and then move
the file description page on top of it and restore.  

With Vermont Street, when I tried the above, the file undeletion generated the
error

        Undelete failed; someone else may have undeleted the page first.

        <p></p>

        Error undeleting file: Unable to write to file
"public/archive/a/a4/20070717110943!DSCN7043.JPG": file exists 

I restored the image by viewing and downloading the deleted image and then
re-uploading it.  

With Honey and Jewel I haven't tried anything, so they still need fixing.
