Description:
When attempting to upload a CSV file, MediaWiki throws the following error:
"File extension ".csv" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (text/plain)."
This forces the user to change the file extension from ".csv" to ".txt" in order to store this file in the wiki, which is incorrect
Tested with CSV from various programs, including Microsoft Excel export.
Version: 1.20.x
Severity: normal
OS: Linux
Platform: PC

Its matters more what os your server is as file type detection is done on the server side. (Sometimes mw uses the underlying os for file type detection. Im not sure what the default is off the top of my head)
Mw hasnt overly been tested with file formats other than standard image formats so its probably just an oversight.
(As quick hack work arround - if its important to make this work quickly you could change csv to be associated with text/plain in includes/mime.types . Obviously that is not a proper fix)

File extension ".xlsx" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (application/vnd.ms-excel).
File extension ".docx" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (application/msword).
docx is application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
xlsx is application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
