[Wiki Loves Monuments] Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 has notstarted yet...

Yes,

I have received some e-mails from various people that they do have this issue in WLM CZ. I do believe however it is a filename issue, as it is highly logical to expect files named IMG_401.JPG to be kinda problem to upload... as pretty much everyone tried to do so in past 10 years.

So they were kindly asked to change the filename...

Hi Rasco,

I confirmed that "<api-error-unknownerror>" is a filename problem.

We should 
(1) tell the uploader that it is a filename issue.(2) allow them to go back to the page where the uploader may give a new name -- rather than give an option to retry.

DSC0001 - 28392 is an obscure file name and should really be discouraged. File names should be descriptive. If anything, the help text for that field can be made clearer.

I had that error when doing a test upload. I retried, changing the filename, and it worked.That made me wonder: Is there a way for making the UploadWizard to append a random number to the default filename? I'm pretty sure lots of participants will have trouble because of trying to upload images with already occupied filenames, specially if the names come from cameras (e.g. DSC0001). If a random number is appended to the name (e.g. DSC0001 - 28392), we would heavily reduce this problem.Racso

However, it now has another problem at "Describe" stage:

77px-Örebro_slott_resynth.jpg
<api-error-unknownerror>
None of the uploads were successful.

Retry failed uploads

Anyone has done a successful test upload?
