I've made the following changes, which can be tested on
commons.prototype.wikimedia.org
1. Refactored UploadStash to use the database for metadata storage. This
enables simultaneous multiple-file upload (not multi-file selection, yet).
2. Added support for TitleBlacklist in the UI (via the new TitleBlacklist
API). Currently the blacklist is the file I use for API unit tests, which
looks like so:
.*[Ff]ail.*
.*[Nn]yancat.* <errmsg=blacklisted-nyancat>
So, it will only fail on titles that contain "fail" or "nyancat". It
should
be straightforward to use a wiki page instead, if anyone feels the need to
test things that file doesn't include. I don't actually have permission to
create the "MediaWiki:Blacklisted-nyancat" page, so if someone wants to test
custom errors, it'd make sense to make that (for a couple languages... for
/fr, I recommend the text "C'est l'erreur Chat Nyan.") They should
work
fine, though, since that's all existing code in TitleBlacklist.
The user sees the custom error when s/he clicks the "More Info" link. That
message is often very long and informative, and wouldn't fit on the page
inline.
3. There is a blacklist error reporting page, at
http://commons.prototype.wikimedia.org/wiki/UploadWizard_blacklist_issues
When a title is blacklisted, the user has the option of commenting on
that
entry with the "Send Feedback" link. The location of this page is
configurable in LocalSettings.php.
I think that's it. We're looking at deploying the first change on
Wednesday, and the others next week (barring serious issues).
