Description

Sometimes newbies come up, why their upload is blocked and do not understand the errormessage.

Illegal SVG-Patterns should be documented easy-understandable somewhere e.g. on :c:Help:SVG#Blocked_Elements_and_Scripting

Hi, I'm not sure what this is asking for... What do you mean by "reported" and who to report? Is this about improving the error message instead of reporting?

@Aklapper I do not know which SVGs get's blocked and which are allowed. I uploaded W3C_SVG_1.1_test_suite and found several patterns unintentionally , and documented them yesterday on Help:SVG and added a option to santizice SVGs on https://svgworkaroundbot.toolforge.org/ . Even I edited SVGs by source-code, I had problems in understanding some error-messages, and what's the problem. Newbies often do not know the difference between jpg, svgz, pdf, for them it is imho impossible to understand the message, even if they know that svg have a soucre-code, that might be edited by text-editor. I would like to know what's blocked, and to be able to refer to it.
