More meaningful error message

I had been struggling uploading a SVG file to Commons. The uploader was just giving This file might be corrupt, or have the wrong extension. as an error message. The file was 2M but I was on a flaky Internet connection so I put it on upload problems. When on a more stable Internet connection I tried again and got the same error message. Then I switched to the old Uploader that gave a more detailed error message: This file contains HTML or script code that may be erroneously interpreted by a web browser. See the FAQ for more information. From there I looked in my file. It turned out the entry contentScriptType="text/ecmascript" under the svg tag was the issue. Would it be possible to have more meaningful error messages with the new uploader wizard? That would have saved me quite some time. Thanks. Soisyc Croisic (talk) 09:54, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
