           Summary: The customized mime.types file should be separated from
                    the initial file
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Uploading
        AssignedTo: [email protected]

There should be an option for sysadmin to put additional custom mime.types
entries separated from the initial "includes/mime.types" file.

Letting sysadmin to edit the file "includes/mime.types" is not a good idea,
since it will decrease the maintainability, especially when upgrading the
MediaWiki software.
The custom mime.types entries should be placed in a separate file.  The file
name may be specified in a variable, $wgCustomMimeTypes, for example.

This option is necessary, since the custom mime.types are still commonly
needed, especially, openoffice document on redhat.
Eventhough the openoffice mimetype has been added in Bug 17497
(https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17497), however, the command
"file -bi" on Redhat, still return application/x-zip for openoffice files.
