Please note that this is also very often a vandalism problem!

IMHO Commons should be left out

Best regards.

I don't think there was consensus to enable this on Commons. Since when this was announced on Commons it was said that Commons would not be included on the proposal, it was not discussed here any further. I would ask to hold back this change on Commons to give us the time to discuss this first.

Since Commons hasn't come to a quick consensus about this and needs more time, please exclude Commons, but proceed with the other wikis, for which consensus was gained at Meta. Commons will have to open a separate configuration request if they decide to follow suit. Thanks. Mike.lifeguard

Set as sitewide defaults:

user upload => false
autoconfirmed upload => true

with exception for commonswiki:

user upload => true

Note that I wouldn't recommend using this sort of setting in the long-term; restricting contributions by default in this way is *very* un-wiki and extremely unfriendly to new, impressionable contributors.

I very, very strongly suggest that this be rolled back as soon as we have better flagging and patrolling systems for new contributions.

Sure. As soon as there is a possibility to hide uploaded images (or at least to block including them in other pages) as long as they are not patrolled, this setting is superflous, of course. >:O) Best regards, Th.

This isn't INVALID, the other bug was. Please stop changing bug statuses unless you know what you are doing.
