Description Bryan Tong Minh 2011-02-06 15:11:02 UTC 
Currently mime types in $wgMimeTypeBlacklist are unconditionally rejected. In certain cases it users may want to override this, without allowing everybody to upload any file. Therefore a userright upload-override-mime-blacklist should be implemented.
Comment 1 Platonides 2011-02-06 15:18:34 UTC 
There shouldn't be a need to override it.
Comment 2 Bryan Tong Minh 2011-02-06 15:25:03 UTC 
Admins may want to upload for example docx files.

The mime type blacklists contains a lot of stuff which is not inherently unsafe, but only some occurences of them (zip).
Comment 3 Platonides 2011-02-06 17:50:59 UTC 
We should just make the blacklist smarter.
Comment 4 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2014-08-16 13:22:48 UTC 
Note, docx is no longer blacklisted.
