I have been directed by User:IMSoP to contact this mailing list in regards
to uploading MIDI files for use on wikipedia. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Sound#Trying_to_upload_MIDIs
At least two wikipedians (including myself) would like to be able to add and
use MIDI files on wikipedia, as was the capability in the past. We believe
they are a common format and allow for smaller file sizes. It has been
suggested by User:Raul654 that MIDI files are unsuitable because their
performance is unpredictable, and by User:Camembert that they are not
currently allowed for security issues.
I request that someone with the capabilities "modify the file
includes/DefaultSettings.php" as per
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files to allow
the uploading of MIDI files. If this is not possible or unadvisable, I would
request an explination either here or or at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Sound#Trying_to_upload_MIDIs.
That way we can settle the issue and inform the interested parties of the
reasons why.
Thanks,
Mikhail, wikipedia User:Hyacinth
