Description Brion Vibber 2014-10-30 18:05:53 UTC 
While batch-fixing broken Ogg videos in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania_2009_presentation_videos I found that a few files were too large to do in one POST (>100M) and I had to do them via chunked upload.

I was just going to do them manually since there weren't many, but found I could not:
* Special:Upload has only single-POST support
* UploadWizard barfed with a JS error (and I'm pretty sure it won't let me upload over existing files anyway)

so I ended up tweaking my CLI batch script to do chunked uploads via API. Probably should have done that anyway, but hey.


Note that Special:Upload is used directly when clicking the 'upload a new version of this file' link on existing media -- it would be nice if it worked for large files! :)

I agree this would be nice.

Many people using a user script currently to get around this limitation: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Rillke/bigChunkedUpload.js
