[03:02:37] I'm building a JS tool and I need to know if it's safe to assume that no mediawiki filenames will ever contain the characters : or | (vertical bar). Are these two guaranteed to be disallowed on all wikis by technical limitations [03:02:50] ? [03:05:20] I am assuming "|" is disallowed, otherwise [[File:example.jpg|thumb|caption]] would not work properly [03:10:26] But what about [[File:W:/2016ALBUM/.svg]] for example [03:11:10] Are those technically disallowed or just discouraged [03:23:11] There is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help!:_A_Day_in_the_Life for example [03:27:06] And https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escherichia_coli_O157:H7 [03:27:40] But unsure for filenames [06:24:29] itsmoon: it's deprecated but https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgIllegalFileChars is probably the best reference [06:50:12] p858snake|cloud : gotcha thanks
