Summary: Commons' "Upload new version" acts as "Upload file"
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: code-update-regression
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: Uploading
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Trying (I think) the same operation approx. 12 hours ago and now, first I got
bug 20667, where uploading new versions of files was impossible; now I'm
getting something entirely new - the "Upload new version" acts as a cut-down
"Upload file" dialog. Thus, it was uploaded to a new location equal to the
filename as it was on my hard drive (different to the on-wiki filename). My
"comments" (i.e. edit summary) became the description of the file, but apart
from that I could not enter categories, a proper description, licensing info
etc etc.
Here what I did:
1) Go to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Samuel_Parr.jpg (n.b. "jpg"
ending)
2) Press "Upload a new version..."
3) Choose a source file from my PC, which was saved as Samuel-Parr-H.png (n.b.
the "png" ending)
4) Enter a comment ("Slightly larger, clearer.")
What I expected:
a) Failure like last night
b) In retrospect, uploading a png over a jpg is probably impossible, so maybe
an error message or some such.
What I got:
i) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Samuel-Parr-H.png
