Created attachment 4870 [details] screenshot if a long button on commons, sadly my screen isn't wide enough to see the whole button Per r32493 the button on commons for save file on warning gets really long, see attachment.
The original MediaWiki messages is "ignore warning and save file anyway". It doesn't generate a large button. The problem happens because http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Ignorewarning is changed from the original message. The person who changed it didn't notice that '''bolding text''' doesn't have an effect on buttons, and didn't pay attention that he is generating large buttons. All in all, this is not a bug in MediaWiki, and should be fixed on Commons. If there is a real need to show that warning to users, another message can be added (by a separate request on Bugzilla, for example) about it.
Disagree, the changes introduced by r32493 were almost certainly mistakes. The 'ignorewarning' and 'reuploaddesc' messages formerly accepted wikitext and now do not, with no explanation given, and the 'savefile' and 'reupload' messages are now no longer used, but they were not removed from the message list. The latter two are supposed to be the labels for the buttons, the former two are supposed to be descriptions. I would revert this, but there are conflicts.

But I missed to remove the two now unused messages and the usage of wikitext in buttons.
Assigned: Raimond. To either mark resolved, or to fix and mark resolved after that :)
Raimond, what's the status of this bug please?
This bug as written is not a MediaWiki bug, the issue was with common localization, and it was fixed years ago. There seems to be some residual question regarding whether those messages should exist or accept wikitext, but since the person who made the change hasn't commented in three years and no one else seems particularly broken up, I'm marking invalid.
