I mean: Actually delete data completely, not some kind of "hiding" files. [07:53am] multichill: [06:42:15] yamc: Yes, why would you want to do that? [07:53am] multichill: [06:42:32] It's only used in extreme cases [07:53am] yamc: [06:42:56] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Airbus_A320-214,_Alitalia_JP6929852.jpg is completely broken: [07:53am] yamc: [06:43:04] 404 for the original version [07:53am] multichill: [06:43:25] That's a bug [07:53am] yamc: [06:43:36] and "inconsistent state"-bug which prevents reupload etc.
At first glance, looks as if file was deleted from swift, but not from the mediawiki db. Now there is an img record but no file. There have been a couple other bugs recently relating to file deletions not quite being atomic and causing problems.
Same issue with empty archive names. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 35367 ***
