Summary: Request to prevent files from being stored in /ad/
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Images and files
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
I have noticed this problem multiple times before and wiki users keep asking
why they can't see some of the images. The problem is that some files and
thumbnails are stored within a folder that is called "ad" and most ad blockers
just see the /ad/ in the file path and block it. While it is easy to set up
those programs to not block "ads" from the site in question, it is still
annoying and not really a good solution when looking at new users (which might
just think that it's broken).
So if it is possible I would like to request that in future MW versions file
folders with the name "ad" are no longer created. It should be easy to prevent
that name from being used and probably helps a lot of people.
