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.
