Task T213409

Jeff G. (talkcontribs)

We have been having problems on Wikimedia Commons with new (to Commons) users of this tool not being allowed to import files with under 10 bytes file description page revisions, such as en:File:2018 AWS Sites ALL 03 29 2018.jpg and en:File:AntiBullyingCampaign.jpg, due to denial by c:Special:AbuseFilter/4. The current discussion is at c:COM:FILTERT#Report by Splattereel. Can this tool please be configured to not import under 10 bytes file description page revisions, or at least to pad the ones under 10 bytes with spaces or the 10 byte string "Padded4AF4"? See also phab:T215429 and phab:T213409.

Thanks for your feedback, @Jeff G. I've added this to our list of feature requests that we'll look into during the beta phase.

Best,
