File upload problem[edit | edit source]

Hello. I am trying to create content for en.vikidia. When I try to upload a file, I get

Upload warning Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/1/1d".

I am using a Mac Book running Mac OS X version 10,6,8, and Chrome.

Please see if you can help

Regards

Barry Desborough

I'll contact the system administrators and see if they can fix the issue. In the mean time, if it is a free file (in public domain or a free license), you can upload it to Wikimedia Commons and then use it here like a local file. Wynter (talk) 18:06, 10 September 2014 (CEST)
I've created a ticket on fr.vikidia for this issue. Wynter (talk) 18:17, 10 September 2014 (CEST)
Thank you Wynter. Am using Commons until the issue is resolved. :) Barry Desborough (talk) 18:38, 10 September 2014 (CEST)
Got the same thing when trying to upload a different file. George.Edward.C (Talk) (Contributions) 18:02, 14 September 2014 (CEST)
I'll write here the answer I gave to Barry when he asked me this question. At the moment, we have some issues of quota (and other stuffs) with our host, that's why uploads and thumbnails are currently broken. With the others system administrators, we are working on a solution and a migration of the site. We apologize for the trouble and hope to find a quick solution.

Thanks for the answer, Linedwell. So everyone: please use Commons to upload free files until this issue is fixed. Wynter (talk) 17:58, 16 September 2014 (CEST)
