Commons' TitleBlacklist messages are huge, sometimes messy and generally not parseable by jqueryMsg for multiple reasons. This means that we can't currently display them in VisualEditor's file upload dialog.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Titleblacklist
Example: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-custom-filename
I'm not sure if we can solve this entirely from the technical side, or if we'll need to tweak the messages. Something to investigate.

I'm sure we could solve this from the technical side, but I'm not sure it's worth it.
For this message (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-custom-filename):
Some things will cause jqueryMsg to fail:
And some things are not properly parsed:
I'm sure jqueryMsg could be improved to deal with all of these, but I don't think we want to turn it into a full-blown parser.
I'm in favor of tweaking the message.
E.g.: the good/bad examples could be moved to a "naming conventions" page that could be linked to (which a <!-- comment --> there already exists). That would get rid of the bolding, comments & indenting already.
All of the currently used messages, to review and simplify:
Change 295630 had a related patch set uploaded (by Bartosz Dziewoński):
mw.jqueryMsg: Add support for {{PAGENAME}} and {{PAGENAMEE}}
The last two are irrelevant for us, so I'm not touching those. Here are my proposals of minimal changes that will be parsed correctly and work with UploadWizard (T117121) and cross-wiki upload dialog (T115260):
I had to implement one small feature in jqueryMsg, see patch above.
I'll post a notification on Commons' administrators' noticeboard and, assuming no one gives a reason not to, replace the messages soon. (I'll also update any translations.)
