UploadWizard fails when uploading pdf files to Commons over the last two weeks, while previously there was no problem with similar files.
- In the last step UploadWizard fails, showing the small red exclamation sign (!) with error message <api-error-internal_api_error_MWException> (nothing more).
- Content: multi-volume Dutch war time history made available by NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies (Amsterdam)
- Some volumes were uploaded successfully some weeks before by me with same method, resulting in, e.g.,
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:L._de_Jong_-_Het_Koninkrijk_der_Nederlanden_in_de_Tweede_Wereldoorlog_1939-1945_Deel_1_Voorspel.pdf
- Failed uploads have similar input metadata for UploadWizard, similar to succesfully uploaded files.
- Removing occasional quote symbols (') from requested file names for Commons did not solve problem
- Target category on wikimedia commons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:L._de_Jong_-_Het_Koninkrijk_der_Nederlanden_in_de_Tweede_Wereldoorlog_1939-1945
- Pdf files originally from
http://www.niod.knaw.nl/nl/download
Upload with UploadWizard from local laptop hard disk.
