Importing images from Flickr via UploadWizard is partially broken
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Some parts of the Flickr importing process in UploadWizard have recently broken:

  • The title on the describe step is blank instead of being imported from the Flickr title.
  • The description on the describe step is blank instead of being imported from the Flickr description.

And in case you're tempted to import the Flickr description as a caption instead, I would not advise that as the Flickr descriptions are often lengthy (and may include markup).

Event Timeline

Adding Regression tag since this used to work.

Checked on testwiki wmf.11 Special:UploadWizard, see example (autimatically asigned tile/imported description and user defined title/impoted description) - both issues seem to be resolved:

  • an automatically assigned or a user defined title is displayed
  • the description is imported

Checked on production commons - seems to be working fine

Etonkovidova claimed this task.

@Etonkovidova maybe you could confirm?

Confirmed - checked on commons wmf.12 - a title/description are imported for Flickr images uploads.
