It is not possible to add galleries on some wikis using VE. Process:
Same thing when you want to update a gallery.
Seems to be specific to some wikis. Tried on:
with Firefox, Chromium and Edge (last versions).
| Subject | Repo | Branch | Lines +/- | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normalise filename after image is chosen in gallery dialog | mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor | master | +2 -1 |
While testing in Chrome/Win 10, what happens on fr.wp or ko.wp is that you launch the gallery tool, then click on a picture. It doesn't load in the tool, you can write in the caption box but the Insert button stays greyed out.
Change 321549 had a related patch set uploaded (by Tchanders):

It's still not working on pt-wiki, at least not on this article: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokkei?veaction=edit
Tried on that article (on fr.wp): double-click on the gallery or click on the gallery and then edit froze VE (everything turns dimmed white, impossible to scroll). Both happen on Firefox 50 and Chromium 53 on Xubuntu 16.04. Same thing on pt.wp.
That's different from what was experienced wen that ticket has been created.
I did some digging and found https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/323090/2 probably solved this. It's 1.29.0-wmf.4 so it'll get deployed to group1 wikis today and group2 tomorrow. @Tchanders?
Yes indeed - thanks for pointing that out. It was a problem with any gallery without prefixed filenames (see T151433).
@ArgonSim @Trizek-WMF Thanks for the examples. (The second gallery on the French page works because it has prefixes, but not the first gallery. The above patch fixes the no-prefix case.)
