Hack MF to let us add a revtag for Android / iOS app
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

horrible horrible hack, but use a 'magic' parameter to get us a 'wmf android' and 'wmf iOS' tags for uploads from either respectively.

This will be the authoritative way of figuring out which files were uploaded from those places, even after they are deleted. EventLogging can not be relied upon for long because it is now opt-outable.

Can we use AbuseFilter to check for the templates we add and add the tag, rather than hacking MF?
