Description:
Please allow adding '*' to the allowed upload
files, $wgFileExtensions.

The quality of the mediawiki software urged me to
switch my homepage www.staerk.de/thorsten to
mediawiki. Big compliment.
On my homepage, I do not have any users but me, but
I need to upload my sourcecode files with whatever
extensions.

My patch allows for adding * to file uploads, it is
productive on www.staerk.de/thorsten.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

If you need this disable the extension check using the existing
preferences.

Set $wgStrictFileExtensions to false, otherwise MediaWiki will enforce file
extension checking; that warning can't be skipped at runtime, for obvious
security reasons.
