This is a follow up to the following: * Bug 27069 - Define $wgUploadNavigationUrl for ptwikibooks I noticed that the links to missing files still do not point to Commons, and I didn't find any message (on [[Special:AllMessages]]) which I could use locally to point these uploads to Commons. Then I found * Bug 18885 - Red links for media files do not support shared repositories which was fixed by introduction of the [[mw:$wgUploadMissingFileUrl]] variable (see r69997). So, could you set that variable to point the red links of our files to Commons? If I understood correctly, it is enough to copy the same url which is in use at http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=InitialiseSettings.php i.e., 'http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload/pt?uselang=pt'

Sorry for bothering you again, but I noticed I problem with our choice of pointing this link to [[commons:Commons:Upload/pt]] instead of [[commons:Special:Upload]] This makes the parameter "wpDestFile" to be discarded when the user follow the link to a page like https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/wiki/Commons:Upload/pt?uselang=pt&wpDestFile=EXAMPLE.jpg because once he is on that page he will need to click in one of the options an they are just normal internal links, and do not preserve such parameters. (compare with what happens when we go to: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/wiki/Special:Upload?uselang=pt&wpDestFile=EXAMPLE.jpg , i.e. the name of the file is used to fill in the corresponding field of the upload form) So, could you change the variable to point to the special page instead?
"the special page instead" == Special:Upload ?
(In reply to comment #3) > "the special page instead" == Special:Upload ? Yep! http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload?uselang=pt
