MultimediaViewer: 'Use this file' dialog can be popped up multiple times
completed by: Theo Patt
mentors: Quim Gil
MultimediaViewer is a MediaWiki extension that gives the user of a wiki a slightly nicer interface for viewing full-size, or nearly full-size, images in their browser without extraneous page loads or confusing interstitial pages. It is currently a beta feature deployed in all Wikimedia sites.
Currently it has this little problem:
The 'use this file' dialog doesn't prevent clicks from going through to underlying UI, including the link that pops up the dialog in the first place -- you can actually pop up multiple copies.
