It seems thumbnailing of files with question marks in their names in broken on Commons as of recently. See discussion here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Administrators%27_noticeboard&oldid=38497461#File:Domine.2C_quo_vadis.3F.jpg Some example files: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:4%3F%3F%3F%3F_Kopie.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:D%3FK.png http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Somewhere_in_norway%3F.jpg The error message I get when trying to view one of the broken thumbnails is: Error creating thumbnail: convert: unable to open image `/mnt/upload6/wikipedia/commons/9/94/D\?K.png': No such file or directory. convert: unable to open file `/mnt/upload6/wikipedia/commons/9/94/D\?K.png'. convert: missing an image filename `/mnt/thumbs/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/D?K.png/600px-D?K.png'. I'd suspect the recent deployment of r65467, but have not been able to reproduce the bug on my local wiki so far.
It seems existing thumbs continue to be served correctly as long as no-one purges them. According to the 7 April 2010 dump, there are 748 potentially affected files on Commons. List here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ilmari_Karonen/%3F
Yes it's caused by r65467. It can be fixed by deploying an updated ImageMagick, including r1719 and r1736: http://trac.imagemagick.org/changeset/1719/ImageMagick/trunk/magick/token.c http://trac.imagemagick.org/changeset/1736/ImageMagick/trunk/magick/token.c
Oh, OK. I thought we were maintaining compatibility with old ImageMagick versions, though (see e.g. bug 11822). Is this something that just _can't_ be fixed on our end without introducing a bleeding-edge ImageMagick dependency? If so, it should at least be very clearly noted in the release notes. (I suspect I'm missing some detail here, though, since I don't seem to be able to reproduce this bug on my own wiki, and I'm pretty sure my hosting provider hasn't updated ImageMagick that recently.)
There is no way to uniquely specify source images that have question marks in their names, before the ImageMagick bug fix. Documented in RELEASE-NOTES as requested in r67591.
Is bug 23963 related, or is that a different problem?

It's the same issue. Changing to a shell request to upgrade ImageMagick to 6.6.1-5 or later.
Are there any test cases left that Commons admins haven't destroyed?

Fixed now, I deployed 6.6.2-6.
