Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

Try to upload an MP3

What happens?:

A tiny window appears.

What's worse, it's has a message from before 2017 complaining about copyrights. Do a look up. Even the official Mediawiki wiki says they're now accepted fine.

What should have happened instead?:

The upload should have not been hindered.

The message is Template:Abusefilter-warning-mp3, caused by abuse filter 192: Restrict MP3 uploads. Nothing to do with UploadWizard, except perhaps that the layout could be better. (Also, note that mp3 became patent-free in 2017, which is not the same concern as copyright.)
