Having only one line for authors is also a problem when images from studies are uploaded where usually a relatively long list of study authors should be put there. Ultimately what would be more useful is a study images uploader tool where you just enter an URL (e.g. a nature.com study url or a DOI) and it checks if it's licensed adequately and if so prefills all the fields like the data and authors fields so you only need to edit file-titles and -descriptions etc.

Checked in commons wmf.14 - the multi-line forms are present:

There is another field that (own work -> "I generated this work using an AI tool" option) that might need some adjustments - filed as T355275.

@Etonkovidova In the desktop screenshot why does the default size of multiline input box look different for Q2 and Q3. I would think the default size should be same.

The default size of Q2 and Q3 fields are the same - I just -re-checked it on commons wmf.14. My screenshot was taken after I added some blank lines to check the controls. Sorry for the confusion.
