This filter currently catches additions containing file://, often people trying to link a file from their computer in a page, like for example here. I was thinking that instead of merely logging it, it would be more helpful both for the projects and the people trying to add files this way, to trigger a warning explaining them what they're trying to do is not possible (and how to properly upload files). --KonstantinaG07 (talk) 13:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- @KonstantinaG07 we could set it to warn, however a custom warning won't work well because it wouldn't be translated to the hundreds of languages - meaning the contributor would get MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning. Would that be better or worse? — xaosflux Talk 14:10, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, right, I had a custom one in mind but forgot translations are an issue here. I am now also not sure if it would be better or not. The ideal would be if these custom warnings were translatable of course. KonstantinaG07 (talk) 14:37, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Also noting that global filters do not support custom messages. If you try to save changes to a global filter with a custom message, you will receive an error. So unfortunately, we are stuck with the default MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning & MediaWiki:Abusefilter-disallowed. XXBlackburnXx (talk) 14:45, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
