But I wasn't sure if it was a Wikimedia bug, so dared not label it so. And it seems I was right.

Would "sent you an email to your email address" make more sense instead of popups that most smaller devices cannot display anyway?

1. Browse https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles?limit=500&user=Jidanni&ilshowall=1
2. Scroll down to the middle of the file.

How can you tell if you are looking at the 249th of 253rd picture?
Sure, if it doesn't matter to you then ignore the numbers.
But if it does, then one cannot live without them.
At least there should be a button to switch them on.
Or if numbers are bad, then take them off all those Special Pages.

Well I took a quick look in
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages
and clicked on several of them.

Sir, you might say it was all my fault. Because normal people upload 35 files and I only uploaded one. So the progress bar position makes sense for 35 files. Okay that's good. All I know is for us people who just happened to upload one file that's the truth of what happened that evening.

Thanks! I just think that the Mediawiki Central group should make sure each language Wikipedia looks good on mobile as well as desktop.

OK, I told them on

...ms...

(All I can say is having milliseconds in the code is asking for trouble.
In fact it's things like that that cause the Upload form to fail for people with less high speed networks.
I would only mention times with long times like 60 seconds for timeouts.)

Indeed, it seems the critical item is the animation setting.
But we cannot blame the user.
Let's see what that setting looks like:

Well, I just tested it on an Android 8 cellphone, and your page works perfectly.

Well it's not a gadget, because it even fails in an incognito window.

I see. If this box is checked,

Special:ListFiles is also wacky:
On https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListFiles/Jidanni&ilshowall=1
we see (upside down)

You are right.

Yes, as you see on

I had to upload a second version.

0K, I put a link to this bug report on that workaround wiki page.

Indeed it turns out I do have that checked.

You need to first click 'Add topic'

Or add some words on it saying what the user should do if he doesn't want to proceed at this point.

Yes, it would be great to give the user something actionable in such
cases, so he would have some way to improve the situation.

Today, using First World-grade Internet connections, I could still very simply reproduce the bug.

Note that I am only talking about the pictures in the section called:
Governors of the Territory of Colorado

Well, if you look at the title, there it is clear as day, "English subtitles for clip: File:Landing at SFO 2022.07.06.webm"

Okay, I should test on more than one site next time.

Downloading requires two steps only: You right-click Original file and select Save Link as.

I am saying that to end users clicking on these things, it seems like there is something wrong.

Also, if one presses the shortcut shown in the right,

Oh and by the way, there isn't even a initial download button unless one selects Desktop view way at the bottom of the wiki page.

Okay, now let's step back and take a look at picture number two again. There are indeed some direct download links at the bottom there. However they are just to the jpg cover image, not to the webm media file itself.

Also, do you realize even at 50 items per page, those results are often very long, and the user has to identify visually each picture to find the right one even if he remembers part of a title etc. It's just such a pity being so close to an answer but so far because there's no little box on the page to just simply add an additional keyword!

Mainly this item needs to be made more like the web pages of the '20s, not the '90s.

Well it turns out there was only four sections on the page in the first place:

https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+detect+user+finished+entering+field gives plenty of ideas. No need to even wait for the Submit button.

Sure, the warning goes away when he has entered the fifth character, but
currently every users gets warned whatsoever, unless they use paste instead of typing.

I see. I forgot a limit, and I now need to chop it up into more runs.
