Bug #: 33834
Summary: Make Special:MIMESearch more user friendly
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MIMESearch is extremely user unfriendly.
There should be drop-downs with the variations pre-filled.
Dropdown 1: MIME main type:
* image/drawing (jpg, png, svg, wmf, ps, etc.)
* audio (ogg, mp3, wav, midi, etc.)
* video (ogg, mpg, etc.)
* multimedia (scriptable multimedia: flash, advanced video container formats,
etc)
* office (office documents, containing apples, scripts, etc)
* text (plain text, e.g. *.txt or *.php)
* executable (binary executable, e.g. *.exe)
* archive (?)
* unknown (unknown formats and 'bitmap')
* non-image (all, except 'image')
A second dropdown could list the minor types.
I know this can be hard to add a sdefault so add a global where I can define
them. E.g.
$wgMIMESearchSelect = array(
'image/jpeg',
'image/png',
'image/bmp',
' audio/ogg',
...
}
It would of course be much better if you craete the dropdowns automatically
based on $wgFileExtensions.
