Hi
I doubt there is an easy to do this, but I thought I would throw it out there. I'm looking for away for file uploads to be automatically named in an unique way when uploaded. Currently I have users who overwrite other photos by uploading photos with bland names, like:logo. I use semantic forms that does have this feature, but only if you set the mime type. Need to find an easier method that doesn't force the user to figure out if the photo they're uploading is a jeg. gif, png, etc.
Anyways anyone have any thoughts on this? Maybe a way to automatically add a time date stamp to the file's name? Or any other thoughts?
Thanks
A general question that has bothered me quite a while: In case of a redirect, why is it that you do not see the standard name of the page in the address line? For a common user (as for instance myself) this is confusing, because you get a message that you have been redirected but you seem to be on the original page. Why not indicate the standard page name in the URL? Or perhaps the standard name + something like "action=redirected" ? Then the redirect notice would make sense...

I think what you want is already live on Wikipedia right now. Try going to the redirect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV This new behavior is part of MediaWiki 1.24 release. Does it better match your expectations ?
