Protected edit request on 8 September 2020

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please change this to

The file you were trying to upload ("$2") cannot be uploaded because the file name selected matches an entry $1 on the local or global blacklist. Please choose a different filename and try again. Make sure the filename you chose matches the naming convention at Wikipedia:File names. If you believe that you are seeing this message in error, please let us know at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. Be sure to specify the exact name of the file you are trying to upload, as well as a brief explanation of what you are trying to do. Thank you.

Reasons:

It informs the uploader of the naming conventions for the file.
There is no way to know which blacklist entry was tripped. This is problematic when there are errors on the local or global blacklists. The extendedconfirmed-show makes sure that well-established users can always see the entry tripped.
It has some wording fixes as well. A a s i m 00:47, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have proposed further changes in the sandbox because the message breaks when the regex has a pipe character. See https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki_talk:Titleblacklist-forbidden-upload/sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=977886984 A a s i m 15:53, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have disabled the request for now as the OP has so far declined to test his changes on the testwiki. Please see Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Escaping a pipe character in system messages for more. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:50, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
