Bug Description
I have uploaded some flowcharts to https:/
I had to use PNG but would prefer SVG, because it will give us better quality and save on server space + bandwidth.

I have tried to gather some information about svg files and it looks to me that allowing svg files in the wiki can be dangerous. The main reason is: svg are xml files and can be manipulated by javascript in the same manner as a normal html document. More over svg files are allowed to contain script in it self.
This are mainly the reasons why djngo doesn't support it: https:/ /code.djangopro ject.com/ ticket/ 14092
Why wordpress doesn't allow uplading svg files, with scripting example /bjornjohansen. no/svg- in-wordpress

So if we really want this, uploading svg files should only be allowed for trusted users (e.g. admins), imho.
