Description

Issue posted on github by @LucasWerkmeister:

I used the “Nearby items” feature of the record wizard, and one of the suggested items was Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien. After recording that word, the recording could not be uploaded; dev tools reveal the following API error:

{
  "upload": {
    "result": "Warning",
    "warnings": {
      "badfilename": "LL-Q188_(deu)-Lucas_Werkmeister-Kunstraum_Kreuzberg-Bethanien.wav"
    },
    "filekey": "redacted.redacted.58.wav",
    "sessionkey": "redacted.redacted.58.wav"
  }
}

I’m not sure what exactly is causing the error – the slash in the word seems like the obvious candidate, but the filename mentioned in the warning has no slash, so I’m not sure if that’s the real culprit.

Yes it is the cause of the warning, the filename mentioned is a proposal from MediaWiki for a legal filename.

According to Manual:$wgIllegalFileChars, this is the list of all illegal characters: #<>[]|{}:/\.
For now on, they all will be replaced by a dash (as MediaWiki suggest to do), cf. this commit.
