I was forced to upgrade to 2.3.2 when 2.2.1 was having problems with MediaWiki 1.18, so I can't ignore this issue anymore. In 2.2.1 I could work around the problem by hiding the upload field to discourage unintended overwriting of semantic data, but magic words don't work very well in 2.3.2: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32883 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33418 Both of those bugs appear to be unrelated to each other, but they are both probably caused by a similar approach to handling magic words. Of course, the magic words are just useful in a programmatic workaround for this bug32426. Semantic Forms should handle this automatically. Here's an example (login Demo/test): http://www.coincompendium.com/w/index.php/File:Vulture.jpg If you click Edit with form, you will see an upload field that used to be hidden with my form code, using magic words: http://www.coincompendium.com/w/index.php/Form:Image If the user is confused about whether they're editing an image or adding a new one, and upload a new one as well as changing the semantic data, the semantic data will be changed for the EDITED image and the CREATED image will have no semantic data applied. Essentially, Semantic Forms does not function in this case, so in addition to reopening the bug, I have increased the severity to "Major". I did not choose "Critical" because the problematic consequences of the bug only occur when the user is confused about whether they're editing or creating a file. That can easily happen if the user thinks they can upload more than one file using the same image upload field. Aspects of that are addressed in at least two separate bugs: SF allows multiple file uploads with a single form field https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32424 Support multiple page creation for batch file uploads. (Would be helpful in many other cases too) https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32824 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
