UploadWizard form gets to deadlock when the file title is not accepted
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When the page "Describe" of UploadWizard is sent by the button "Next" with a "title" of the file not accepted by UploadWizzard, the page displays a warning "Please make this title more meaningful." and a message "None of the uploads were successful.". The title field can be edited and corrected, but the page contains no button to send the corrected form nor any button to return to any previous step. All previous steps are lost.

A second issue is why the form proposes an unacceptable name of the original file as a new title (and without any well-timed warning). Shouldn't the title field rather remain empty in such cases?

Matanya set Security to None.

This is not the same bug as T48741, that one just had a confusing title.

Change 237306 had a related patch set uploaded (by Bartosz Dziewoński):
Actually display a button to try after errors in the 'Details' step

(It is the same as T105545 and T100975, though.) All this because of a typo in a cleanup commit made in May :/ Sorry about that.
