Version: any

>From comments in code review (r77100):
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-http' => 'There a problem connecting to the service.',
?Unable to connect to the service.
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-ok-but-empty' => 'The server didn\'t return any
information about the upload.',
MediaWiki style doesn't use contractions. Does this mean we didn't get any
reply from the server?
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-unknown-code' => 'The server returned an error we did
not understand: "$1"',
?Unknown error
Is $1 a error code or explanation (in English?)
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-uploaddisabled' => 'Uploading is disabled on this
wiki.',
?Uploading of files
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-nomodule' => 'The wiki did not know how to handle
this upload.',
How to handle the file format or something else? The user should know what he
can do, or nothing if that is the case.
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-mustbeposted' => 'There\'s a bug in this software;
it\'s not using the proper HTTP method.',
Again, what can the user do in this unlikely situation?
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-badaccess-groups' => 'You aren\'t permitted to upload
files to this wiki. Check what access groups you belong to.',
Would be nice to fetch this information for the user. I haven't seen term
access group used anywhere else.
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-stashfailed' => 'The wiki could not store the file.',
Temporarily or always?
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-missingparam' => 'The upload didn\'t have all the
required information (probably a bug in this uploader.)',
Should it print also the param to aid in bug reporting? Is it possible to
automatically log these cases to somewhere?
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-invalid-session-key' => 'The server couldn\'t find
that file in your uploaded files.',
Which file? We have quite standard wording for session errors in MediaWiki
itself.
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-copyuploaddisabled' => 'Uploads by copying are
disabled.',
Should try to say more clearly what Upload by copy is. Is it the same thing as
upload from url?
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-mustbeloggedin' => 'You are not properly logged in.',
properly? is there some kind of middle state?
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-file-too-large' => 'The file you submitted was too
large.',
Can this be catched before upload? Are the limits shown anywhere?
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-filetype-banned' => 'This type of file is banned.',
?Files of this type cannot be uploaded?
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-illegal-filename' => 'The filename is not allowed.',
Does the user after seeing this error have any idea how to fix it?
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-overwrite' => 'Overwriting an existing file is not
allowed.',
Is this true? I think some users can do that. Also, in quick reading of the API
code, I did not find place where this error could be detected.
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-error-badtoken' => 'The "token" we use to identify you to
the server was bad.',
"token"? Is it a real token or not?
+ 'mwe-upwiz-api-warning-duplicate' => 'There is another file already on the
wiki with the same content',
Can we provide the filename(s) too?
