Bypassing AbuseFilters is not possible when importing a file and a warning is shown
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

When I tried to import an file to Wikimedia Commons, the OTRS upload filter a upload filter stopped the import:

Even if the message says "You may press "Save page" again if you like to save this edit. If you do so, your edit will be tagged for review." there is no "Save page" button to continue the import. Instead, the import of the file that has a permission fails.

Proposed solutions:

  • Remove the text "Import failed"
  • Add a "Continue" button that does the same as clicking the save button again
  • Add a feature to change the text in the message from "Save page" to "Continue" when using FileImporter

FWIW if an abuse filter is causing false positives, then the abuse filter should be modified as the first point of call
