           Summary: MIDI files - inconsistent handling of [[File:...]] vs
                    [[:File:...]] vs [[Media:...]]
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.15-svn
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Normal
         Component: File/Repo
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


I'm not actually sure which component handles MIDI playback in MW, so I stuck
this in the general file/repo, please move it if you know where it belongs.

There is currently inconsistent handling of links to media files between MIDI
and OGG:

[[:File:Foo.ogg]] --> link to file description page, as expected
[[:File.Foo.midi]] --> link to file description page, as expected

[[Media:Foo.ogg]] --> Downloads file on FF3.0.10
[[Media:Foo.midi]] --> *plays* file in distinct window on FF3.0.10

[[File:Foo.ogg]] --> Inline widget to play file inline
[[File:Foo.midi]] --> links to file description page

Without a doubt, [[File:Foo.midi]] should be either an inline widget or a link
to the same play-in-separate-window process that's currently achieved with
[[Media:Foo.midi]].  I realise that the variation between the [[Media:...]]
calls may be browser-dependent, but that's also something that should be looked
into.  These functions should have consistent handling.
