Problem with links to MP3 upload being redirected to the special:upload page
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In Our Own Words wiki on Miraheze host - I have had MP3 uploads enabled and the recording plays when I go to it on the upload log. However, I have tried to create a link to the file from my wiki page and the link takes me to the special:upload rather than the recording itself. Can this be corrected please?

The link to the recording itself: https://inourownwords.miraheze.org/wiki/File:Punjabi-GoneMad.mp3

The page I have linked back to the recording from https://inourownwords.miraheze.org/wiki/Punjabi

The pipe link I used in terms of code: [[Media:Audio.Punjabi-GoneMad.mp3|Recording]] but I have tried [[File:Punjabi-GoneMad.mp3|Recording]] too but not had any luck there either.

If this can be fixed so we can have recordings uploaded directly it would be a lot easier to make better use of the wiki.

Looks like you typed it incorrectly,

Media:Audio.Punjabi-GoneMad.mp3 -> File:Punjabi-GoneMad.mp3

(Ignore that i changed it to file, Media will also work.)

But I tried both variants and neither of them worked. I've just clicked on the hyperlink now and it's taken me to a page to create the file instead but I want to embed the audio clip so people can play it instead.
