Please consider adding the option to input all necessary information for files before they are uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. Instead of waiting for hours while uploading multiple files and then having to return to the computer to add details to each file, I would like to be able to input all the details such as file name, description, category, etc., while the file is in the process of being uploaded. This way, I can leave the computer to continue uploading files overnight without the need to come back later to input this information.

@Wilfredor I think I need some more details on that. Isn't it already possible to add what you ask during the upload? What is exactly that you have to add in a second round? Can you please give me an example of what you do, so that the engineers could better understand the problem?

When you upload an image to a platform, you typically follow a procedure where you first upload the image and then, only after it has been uploaded, you can add descriptions, tags, or other metadata. This can be inefficient if you have multiple images to manage, as you have to wait for each image (and all images) to upload before entering its information.
A better approach could be to allow users to input all relevant data for each image (like title, description, tags) at the same time they select the image for upload. This data would then be processed together with the image upload, streamlining the workflow and saving time, especially when handling multiple files. This method would eliminate the need to wait for each image to upload before entering information, making the entire process more efficient.
