Hi
I am admin in Gilaki wikipedia and have a problem with uploading access. Users can't upload files and have a message that said just admins could upload!
How could we give access to all of users to upload files?

Hi @Varg. Thanks for reporting this!
I guess this is about https://glk.wikipedia.org/wiki/ویکیپدیا:بارگذاری
Also, the task in the "Blocked By" field is inaccessible to me due to access restrictions...
For such configuration changes, local consensus is required. Could you discuss the matter on the Village pump page of your wiki to confirm that this change is wanted by the community, and paste the link to the discussion here?
For more information about how to request these kinds of changes, please see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requesting_wiki_configuration_changes and feel free to forward that link to others who may want similar changes made in the future. Thanks!
For your interest, technically, upload settings are defined in the code repository in https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/operations%2Fmediawiki-config.git/079a4edf39b7df76913ef9fd7cfa0b70f7d9e9b8/wmf-config%2FInitialiseSettings.php
For general information on how to file tasks in Phabricator, please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug
Hi, we discussed this matter and our active users put their vote to want this access:
Allow non-admins to upload files in Gilaki wikipedia
Why can't you use https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard?uselang=glk ?
Local upload doesn't work until you put some copyright tags in https://glk.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Licenses ; see also https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Licensing_policy .
@Varg You don't need to - files uploaded to Commons can be used on all sites. However, I'm prepared to do a patch for this, but it should only be deployed if you have local license tags on https://glk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%85%D8%AF%DB%8C%D8%A7%D9%88%DB%8C%DA%A9%DB%8C:Licenses - Please let me know once this has been done.
I don't understand. Why shouldn't it be translated?
You should upload a translated version of File:Licensing_tutorial_en.svg to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Licensing_tutorial_glk.svg. See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_tutorial for additional details.
Apologies, I misunderstood. @Varg, this should be done at https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=ext-uploadwizard&filter=&action=translate&language=glk
You should upload a translated version of File:Licensing_tutorial_en.svg to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Licensing_tutorial_glk.svg. See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_tutorial for additional details.
Stalled; it's not yet clear what result the wiki expects to achieve with this configuration change, specifically what's wrong with https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard?uselang=glk . It seems the only desire is to have a localized interface, for which the correct solution is to translate UploadWizard and set $wgUploadNavigationUrl .
Ah nevermind, the issue is a local incorrect JavaScript (presumably copied from the English Wikipedia) which overrides $wgUploadNavigationUrl . Please a sysop or global editinterface or steward fix it.
Change 243920 had a related patch set uploaded (by Glaisher):
Set $wgUploadNavigationUrl to use uselang=$lang for commonsuploads wikis by default
Change 243920 merged by jenkins-bot:
Set $wgUploadNavigationUrl to use uselang=$lang for commonsuploads wikis by default
$lang hasn't been initialized and assigned yet when InitialiseSettings.php is parsed.
Undefined variable: lang in /srv/mediawiki/wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php on line 1209
Change 245945 had a related patch set uploaded (by Glaisher):
Set $wgUploadNavigationUrl to use uselang=$lang for commonsuploads wikis by default
Change 245945 merged by jenkins-bot:

Language selection should be and already is performed by UniversalLanguageSelector... There is no evidence that it's failing for any of the users of the commonsuploads wikis.
Either way, the underlying bug has been fixed so this proposal is no longer necessary. If new issues (and proposals for their fix) arise in a new local discussion, please open a new report.
