Hi, I work for Wikimedia Sverige and work mostly with UN agencies and other Integovernmental organisations, I also write quite a bit of documentation to make Wikidata and Wikipedia most accessible and useful, especially for partner organisations and new users.

@Sannita are you the correct person to notify?

@Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE thanks so much, who would be the right person in WMF responsible for UploadWizard to ping to make aware of the bug? I just want the right person to be aware of the issue.
@Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE ok, great you understand the issue, is there anything else I could do to help? I am not a programmer so I assume not, but please let me know :) One thing I would say is a message saying "The XML in the uploaded file could not be parsed" wouldn't be super helpful to me either in fixing anything but would give me something to google at least. I wonder if there is documentation we could link to along with the error message?

Hi @bvibber thanks so much for picking this up after 4 years, I'm not a wizard so I don't really understand your updates, but if there's anything muggles can do to help with this please let us know :) E.g I'd be happy to start a list of open license repositories for full colour 3d models

I would also really like to have this ability. Does anyone know if there are any other ways to find out this information? Specifically I want to know how many views Media Viewer pages get on English Wikipedia

@tstarling I just found this phab ticket after I received the same message, is there anything I can do to upload the file? Its quite important for a project I'm working on with the UN (its the publication I'm extracting all the graphics and text from) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Help_desk#Internal_error:_Server_failed_to_store_temporary_file._(for_pdf)

@Mvolz I'm just coming back to this as I've tried to cite some news channels on Youtube again and it is still quite bad. Is the backend stuff working better now? Is there any way to provide a list of the data you get from Youtube just to see if even the fields can be used better? According to Wikipedia Youtube is the second most used website in the world so its a real issue if the Cite tool creates poor quality citations for Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-visited_websites
