SVG Upload should allow the Inkstitch namespace
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Hi (hopefully I am asking this in the right place and way). I would like to ask you to whitelist a new SVG namespace in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:UploadBase.php

Inkstitch is a Inkscape extension to create embroidery files and it uses a namespace

xmlns:inkstitch="http://inkstitch.org/namespace"

I would like to publish such files in my Mediawikis without having to hack https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:UploadBase.php. I expect that people also would like to publish embroidery files in Wikimedia Commons.

Example file on a mediawiki (with UploadBase modified)
https://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/File:MediaWiki_logo_reworked_5.svg
https://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/InkStitch_-_embroidery_logos

Plan for wikimedia (for now I just could upload a picture)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Comparison_of_embroidery_software

Discussion in the InkStitch github

PS/Update: Some InkStitch files can be uploaded to MediaWikis since for now InkStitch barely uses SVG namespaces. An example is here. But that will change in the future, i.e. all annotations (SVG attributes) will be namespaced.
