Open questions:

• Look into how re-organizing options may affect campaign workflows

A couple of questions about the 3rd option:

• That "(learn more)" link - is that meant to go to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing#Material_in_the_public_domain?

• "First published in the United States before 1928"
  • I suspect this should add license {{PD-US-expired}} (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-US-expired) - is this correct?
• "Author has been deceased for more than 70 years"
  • I suspect this should add license {{PD-old-70}} (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-old-70) - is this correct?
• "This work was made by the United States Federal Government (for example, NASA)"
  • I suspect this should add license {{PD-USGov}} (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-USGov) - is this correct?
  • Note: are we sure we want to call out NASA explicitly here? AIUI, those are actually meant to get the license {{PD-USGov-NASA}} (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-USGov)
• "I read online somewhere that this is in the public domain in United States"
  • I suspect this is the equivalent of the existing "I found it on the Internet — I'm not sure", which adds {{subst:uwl}} (basically adding this content: {{Remove this line and insert a license instead}}) - is this correct?

Then, still for option #3:

It is not mandatory for users to select an option under this question

Is this accurate? Do we allow uploads without license information whatsoever?

@matthiasmullie

• The "learn more" link you pasted is correct. I added it to Figma as well
• All the PD license tags seems to be correct. But I will confirm these and re: NASA with Shaun and get back.

• Regarding the statement below it is for the additional question that is revealed with the selection of option 3. It is currently not mandatory in the flow to enter US specific information hence I kept the same for the new flow but I can confirm this too.

I'm not sure I understand this.
If no option is checked here, then what license do we add? None? Is that ok?
(Note that that is not currently possible in UploadWizard)

N.b. This question also applies to this statement from option 2:

The selection of this option will not block the users from going to the next step in the upload wizard

Is that ok?
(Note that that is not currently possible in UploadWizard)

Change 971192 had a related patch set uploaded (by Matthias Mullie; author: Matthias Mullie):

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/971192

@matthiasmullie the selection of license (one of the radio button) is mandatory.. what I was referring to was the checkboxes under public domain option. That is currently optional in the flow but after speaking with Shaun we should make that mandatory too so I will update the AC.

For option 2 "I do not have this information" - this will assign no license to it. There was a discussion that happened here (within additional question section) about whether we allow users to move ahead in similar cases. Based on the discussion we decided we would still let them go ahead. But since we do not allow this today it seems like a new requirement and is allowing users to upload with no license at all. Hmm let me circle back on this.

@matthiasmullie The third choice has been updated with new copy. Link to UI (also linked in the description)
Please note three changes 1) Added the term "Check all that apply" at the end of the question 2) Updated the copy for US federal govt option 3) Added the NASA option

Also copying here the templates we discussed for documentation purposes:

• No, I don’t have this information - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Uwl
• First published in the United States before 1928 - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-US-expired
• Author has been deceased for more than 70 years - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-old-70
• This work was made by the United States Federal Government - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-USGov
• Original work by NASA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-USGov-NASA
• I read online somewhere that this is in the public domain in United States - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-US

The error message for not selecting any of the checkboxes is shown in this UI (also linked in the description)

@matthiasmullie - it seems that I'm missing something, but when comparing the figma design for someone else's work, I see different options for license selection. There were some updates somewhere on the figma design?

Checked on beta - all specs seem to be in pace; I grouped all minor issues in T352477: [minor] UploadWizard - UI adjustments and moved to Design QA for @Sneha review.

(0) The screenshots below are to illustrate the following(the first) group of specs:

• Remove all the options below the license question in the existing flow
• All the creative commons licenses will be nested under a new question
• Show a new creative commons license question with four choices as shown in this first level UI options
• This is the first question in the form
• The next button should be active all the time
• If the user clicks on the Next button without making a selection (scroll up to the question if off the screen) and show the error under q1 as shown in this UI

(1)

First choice in the main question

• When the first option (Yes, I have this information) is selected - reveal the creative common licenses as shown in this UI
• Show the name, icon, and learn more link as specified in the UI
• None of the option should be selected by default
• If the user click on the Next button without making a selection (scroll up to the question if off the screen) and show the error under q1 as shown in this UI

(2)

Second choice in the main question

• When the second option (No, I don't have this information) is selected - reveal an inline warning message as shown in this UI
• Link to appropriate help pages as specified in the UI
• The selection of this option will not block the users from going to the next step in the upload wizard
• If the user proceeds with this option selected add the {{subst:uwl}} template

example of uploaded file with {{subst:uwl}}

(3)

Third choice in the main question

• When the third option (This work is not protected by copyright...) is selected - reveal a list of public domain options for users to select from as shown in this UI
• If the user does not select any of the checkboxes and proceeds show the error message as shown in this UI.

(4)

Fourth choice in the main question

• When the fourth option (Enter a different license in wikitext format) is selected - reveal an input box as shown in this UI
• The preview button and copyright tag link will maintain its current functionality and behaviour (no change here)
• If the user leaves the input box blank and proceeds to next step, show this error message under q1.

Note: there is an additional verification for user input on whether entered license is valid (it's part of existing functionality - unchanged):
