The technical part of this is being looked into in T228327: Add option to skip structured data parts in upload wizard campaigns

Per comment in the other task. Description should always be required so if we want to de-clutter then its Caption which has to go.

I'll just add my reply to that one here too. This is completely true, but for most campaigns the description is filled in a different way. See for example https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gendringen_Anholtseweg_78_01_(1).jpg part of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:wlm-nl , here the description is " |description={{Rijksmonument|523699}}" based on the configuration on https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Campaign:wlm-nl&action=edit . Also asking for a manual description is redundant to asking for the id and we should be able to disable that.

So captions can be deactivated by simply adding the following to the campaign config (as documented on mw:Extension:UploadWizard/Campaigns#Structured_Data_in_Campaigns)

"wikibase": {
    "captions": false
},

as of now (and thus by the start of WLM 2019) there is no option to disable descriptions.

As per my original thoughts I'd say we add that snippet to every wlm-campaign but also e-mail all of the organisers (are they on a convenient list?) so that we can re-enable it in case any of them specifically wants it on. @JeanFred @Effeietsanders @Romaine your thoughts on that suggestion?

Actually we might also want to disable the "Add data" step if we want to really simplify the upload flow (by default this contains a field for depicts) . If so this is done using

"wikibase": {
    "enabled": false
},

This also automatically disables the captions. There is in fact not an option right now to allow captions but hide the "add data step".

I would do this.

@Romaine do you have the capacity to do this? Otherwise I might be able to do it tomorrow evening.

can the two codes be merged into one?

I think yes I can do this tomorrow morning.

Ah, I missed that part. So to conclude, I will implement it.

Done!

Many thanks!

Are you sure this is all done? I just updated https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Campaign%3Awlm-br&type=revision&diff=363934702&oldid=363930605

Yes, I was distracted by this non-working code https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Campaign:wlm-br&diff=363860238&oldid=363439748

I will check all campaigns to be sure.

In multiple campaigns people tried to re-enable it, like https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Campaign:wlm-pt&diff=prev&oldid=363866712

Well, I think that's a very bad idea to enable it but if the team of a country really wants it, I think they should let them try. In fact, it's maybe a good opportunity to test to see how the participants really reacts to SDoC.
