Description

Motivation
The success-message of FileImporter currently looks like this:

The contrast does not full fill the WCAG-Recomendations.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Change the text of the success and error messages to black. This would fulfill all the WCAG recommendations.

Event Timeline

the colors are of the Wikimedia color palette, so the green is okay IMO

  • I would change the text to black, which would also fulfill all the WCAG recommendations.

    I noticed that we're also subtly changing the successbox background color, which is already defined by mediawiki-core. I've rolled back our customization, here are screenshots of the resulting colors for review:

    When trying to test this, I get an error message with the following details

    Not sure this is us, but just in case pasting it here

    When trying to test this, I get an error message with the following details

    Yikes! Would you mind sketching out what steps you're taking which cause this error?

    Clicking on the "move to commons" link for this file:
    https://de.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Datei:TEST_Euro_exchange_rate_to_TRY_-_Turkish_Currency_and_Debt_Crisis_2018.svg
    Renaming by adding AGAIN in front of the title and clicking submit then

    I had a quick look at the exception. I believe there is a misconfiguration in one of the filters on this wiki: https://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter?furtheroptions%5B%5D=hidedisabled. I don't know which. In other words, I believe this is not us, and there is nothing we can do to fix this in our codebase. To not make a badly configured filter make the AbuseFilter extension crash, that extension would need a fix/partly rewrite. This might be worth opening a separate ticket.

    Lea_WMDE moved this task from Demo to Done on the WMDE-QWERTY-Sprint-2019-05-29 board.
