Error: You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reason: The target filename is invalid
There are some examples in the bug comments. Bawolff said this: "Taking a brief look over the code. This error appears to be coming from LocalFileMoveBatch::doDBUpdates in the case it can't update the db. However in the case of that error, its supposed to rollback the db transaction, and bail, all before touching any files on the file system..."
Help?
Hi folks,
Cross-posting to the Multimedia team list, since I think we should collectively come up with a plan here. Aaron Schulz is a likely candidate to help out from the MediaWiki Core side, but we are pretty likely to need at least review help from Multimedia.
I believe Aaron already has a rather ambitious fix for this in Gerrit: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/127460/
However, the change is risky, and probably means breaking more things than it fixes at first. Thoughts on next steps?
