Description:
Wikipedia's upload page seems to have a SpecialUpload.php hack
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload) which contains a dropdown for
licensing information.
It would be extremely helpful to bring that functionality to the core for all
other MediaWiki users as well.
What I propose is two drop downs, enabled/disabled in localSettings.php, for
categorization and licensing tags. The localSettings.php entries would have an
array() which would contain the data for each of the customizable dropdowns.
eg. $wgLicenseArray('Fair Use', '{{fairuse}}');
eg. $wgCategoryArray('Images of People', '{{peopleimages}}');
I believe even Wikipedia could benefit by soft-coding the customizable
dropdowns, instead of using a hard-coded SpecialUpload.php hack.
