When the filename on the local computer has an invalid/bad character (like a leading space in my case) the UW stops the upload with a non helpful "unknown-warning". The old upload form shows at least the better message 'badfilename' => 'Filename has been changed to "$1".', and I can retry with the changed filename. I think the UW should change the filename silently and continue with the upload, maybe notifying the user in the last step about the changed filename.
Hi! Recently, a patch to MediaWiki core [0] changed the behavior of API warnings. We now get those at the first step, even if we don't handle them necessarily. Could you try to reproduce this bug, and let us know if it still occurs? If so, the solution would likely be very different from before this patch. It looks like the deployment window might have been before you reported the bug, but I'm not sure. I just got the first report of it being fixed this morning, so I'm trying to confirm all of these bugs. [0] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/9261/ Thanks!

I have also encountered this bug today, but with a message: "Error: http://bits.wikimedia.org/commons.wikimedia.org/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=ext.uploadWizard&skin=vector&version=20120818T022835Z&* at line 42: InvalidCharacterError: String contains an invalid character." I agree with Raymond here - the UploadWizard should automatically change the name of the file and continue with the upload instead of stopping it with such an error message.
Still a problem. The issue here is upload titles. mw.UploadWizardUpload.js should properly ignore the 'badfilename' warning Test case. Create a file with in the filename the character '[' When using a destination name with this character, you have no errors and the character is automatically stripped from the title. However you get no feedback of this while you type, it happens automagically when you press 'next'

Merged, so we should have this fixed in master. If it's not fixed in master (and be sure that you're testing on master), reopen.
This was reopened, without explanation.... Can someone tell me what the behavior is that they have verified is not working, so that it can be fixed ?
closing again
