Description Subfader 2012-05-01 13:20:31 UTC 
Users are confused after replacing a file, when the image and thumbs are still teh same after re-uploading.

Add an explanation note on top of the image when returning from [[Special:Upload]].

Just pass &wpForReUpload=1

Bawolff, you closed that bug too early.

How to reproduce

You can reproduce it easily on mediawiki.org . 

I used the test file https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Bug36380.pdf .

- Goto https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Bug36380.pdf
- download from the File history the lastest version to your computer (just to see that this works)
- create a modified version on your computer
- upload the modified file using https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Bug36380.pdf&wpForReUpload=1

After the upload of your changed version you will see that the

- preview image has NOT changed, and will not show your new version.

This is one apparent effect of the bug.

You need to manualy Ctrl F5 in your browser.
