Error message when cropping protected images

Open devsikander opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Upload failed! [api] Received error: cascadeprotected : This page has been protected from editing because it is transcluded in the following page, which is protected with the "cascading" option turned on: * [[:Commons:Auto-protected files/wikipedia/en]]

"Upload failed" is incorrect because the new cropped image did upload to Commons, but editing the source image to add the {{Image extracted}} information failed because of image page protection.
