Summary: Unuploaded images inserted within pages does not refer
to a site-wide upload page, but rather the local
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.14.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Uploading
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
When inserting a reference to image on a page (e.g. [[File:Image.png]]) that
does not exist, MediaWiki will in general (if uploads are enabled) create a
link to where you may upload an image with that very name.
However, should you be using a pool wiki (for the purpose of keeping your
images centralised), this link will still refer to your local Special:Upload,
and if you disable uploading on your local wiki, for the sake of avoiding
people uploading there and refer them to your pool wiki, the link won't work at
all.
MediaWiki needs a better way of checking this. And using
$wgUploadNavigationUrl seems awfully close to a "hack", a better solution would
have been a basis, so rather than creating a link to say,
"http://pool.wiki.tld/wiki/Special:Upload";, it should rather have contained
"http://pool.wiki.tld/w/index.php";.
If people using "http://pool.wiki.tld/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload"; rather
than its prettier version is a concern to you, perhaps write something even
better!
In any case, the current version lacks a version for inserting queries (unless
you want to simply append them to current link, but MediaWiki doesn't seem to
approve of that internally, eh).
