Just so I don't forget and this doesn't get lost, the English Wikipedia has apparently written and implemented its own "File Upload Wizard": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:File_Upload_Wizard.
This whole system is ... less than ideal.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||

| Open | Feature | None | T39320 Fix English Wikipedia's upload system | ||
| Open | Feature | None | T31955 Make UploadWizard compatible with local copyright tags (including fair use?) | ||
| Resolved | None | T41779 Default file uploader is broken on the English Wikipedia |
There are two possible fixes as far as I can see:
1a) don't upload locally and use UploadWizard on Commons,
1b) use normal upload;
I'm all for (1) but I suppose it's not what you want? Let's assume it's (2). If confirmed, please mark LATER as the other bugs like this.

Resetting severity to enhancement as I don't see how there is a bug.
This sounds as though you haven't used the Frankenform.
