    Hello, I just got an user report that uploading an image via UploadWizard gets stuck consistently for an JPG image that has 11 MB. The image I used to reproduce this can be found at https://people.wikimedia.org/~urbanecm/Taipei_Taiwan_Taipei-101-Tower-01.jpg. I'm pretty certain that used to work before. Did sth change in UW recently? Or am I mistaken? the network tab shows API.php requests for `action=upload&format=json&stash=1&checkstatus=true&filekey=1840w8uox9l0.gxcf5y.4351678.jpg&errorformat=html&errorlang=en&errorsuselocal=1&formatversion=2&token=REDACTED`, which consistently returns `{"upload":{"result":"Poll","stage":"queued"}}`.

    Every year on new year, new items enter the public domain under U.S. law. When this happens, the Upload Wizard must be updated to indicate that items a year later may now be uploaded. (Go to the "release rights" step of the wizard, choose, "this is not my own work" > "The copyright has definitely expired in the USA" and note the dates.) This update currently happens manually through tasks like T326045, which results in a delay and additional work. The update should be automated by setting up [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/UploadWizard/+/cd73c05443326e786a8267e0d8ae3d71efb58da6/i18n/en.json#339 | mwe-upwiz-license-pd-old-70-1923 ]] and [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/UploadWizard/+/cd73c05443326e786a8267e0d8ae3d71efb58da6/i18n/en.json#309 | mwe-upwiz-license-pd-us ]] to use the full-protected {{[[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Not-PD-US-expired-min-year | Not-PD-US-expired-min-year ]]}} or {{[[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-US-expired-max-year | PD-US-expired-max-year ]]}}, or directly through the formula {{#time:Y|-95 years}}.

    If I put the ''Creator page template'' into the Author (artist) field of the Upload Wizard, it would be nice if that would then automatically populate (or suggest) the wikitext for the (best and most applicable) license to use for the image being uploaded. Going on from that it would be nice if it were to suggest appropriate categories to use against the file? Can there be an option for using the ''Artwork'' template as opposed to the mandatory ''Information'' one

    **What's the problem ?** On commons there are 2 upload pages, Special:Upload which supports the uploading of file from a URL, and Special:UploadWizard which (currently) does not. Using Special:Upload to load a file from a URL which is larger than 100MB repeatedly fails. I was advised Special:UploadWzard undetook different approaches to support upload of larger files compard to Special:Upload, However Special:UploadWzard does not currently have an option to upload directly from a URL. (In one use case this would be a URL to a PDF file at Internet Archive or Hathi Trust.). This means having to download the file from the origin site to local storage, and then reupload to Commons using the aforementioned page. This is wasteful of bandwidth on the user side. **What's the functionality you would like?** Option in Special:UploadWizard to provide a URL to the appropriate file, rather than a local file, and to have that file load reliably, potentially by a splitting the transfer into parts, if the file is greater than 50MB, with additional integrity checks being made to ensure it uploads completely.

    When the Upload Wizard copies information from the first upload to the other uploads, it automatically numbers some or all of the uploads sequentially. For years, I have been naming the first of my multiple uploads in the format "[subject], [year] (01)" and the copying system has then been correctly naming and numbering subsequent uploads automatically as "[subject], [year] (02)", "[subject], [year] (03)", etc. Some weeks or so ago, the automatic numbering system broke. Since then, apart from a few days when someone fixed it, it has been misnumbering the uploads in the following way: it adds "01" to the first upload, and then misnumbers the subsequent uploads as "[subject], [year] (01) 02", "[subject], [year] (01) 03", etc. This misnumbering is really annoying, as it has to be corrected manually. It needs to be fixed permanently.

    Hi, just reporting that today it is the 4th time I have finished the stage of describing about 40 of my photos on Upload Wizard and upon clicking Publish files, nothing happened, so I had to reload and describe everything again, upon which the same thing happened several times... Later, I managed to upload by 10 files a time, but then the same thing happened again with about ten of them, too. You can imagine how much time I have lost doing it over and over again :-( Is there a way to prevent it happening? It had only happened once before, and several uploads in between went ok. My internet connection is fine, and I use Chrome.

    The issue was found when testing T224890 - see this comment[[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T224890#6095517 | comment ]]. Steps to reproduce: 1. With multiple files upload on Special:UploadWizard, a user skips a required field(s) (or fills out only the field that is the closest to the bottom of the page) - and scrolls to the bottom of the page (so the not-filled required field is out of the view) 2. A user clicks on the 'Publish files' - there will be no warning that some required fields need to be filled out and no action. Adding an additional warning message e.g. "Some required fields are missing" or scrolling to the place(s) where required fields are not filled would improve user experience. {F31789183}

    Three recent uploads have failed to complete, leaving the bottom of the images grey. This triggers Sandbot to tell me it's an incomplete image, which is something I already know. After failing the upload it then waits for about 7 minutes then gives the "Unknown Server Error". I have now lost the lengthy description text I entered for the image because steps cannot be retraced. Fustrating in the least and I suggest someone takes this problem by the horns and actually makes Upload Wizard usable.

    Many SDC properties should be added to the file during upload process with Upload Wizard. At the moment Upload Wizard is hardwired to add several Commons templates, like {{Information}}, {{Own}}, {{FlickrVerifiedByUploadWizard}}, {{Location}}, {{cc-by-4.0}}, etc. Most of those should also be matched to specific SDC properties which should be added at the upload time. We should have more discussions at [[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/Modeling|c:Commons:Structured_data/Modeling]] about how to model different cases, but Upload Wizard should handle at the minimum case of own work by the uploader under standard CC license with standard date and optional camera coordinates and heading. Initially the information would be stored in wikitext and SDC, but once {{Information}} is updated we should store such info for basic cases, in SDC only. {{Location}} template is already capable of fetching camera coordinates and heading from SDC, so if coordinates are added to SDC than all that needs to be added to wikitext is empty "{{Location}}". Examples of SDC properties that could be automatically filled in by UploadWizard: * copyright status * copyright license * inception * coordinates of the point of view * image captured with * source of file: original creation by uploader (for own works) * author user name

    To reproduce: - Use Commons with English as the user interface language. - Upload a file. - During the uploading add this caption, and make sure to select Hebrew as the caption's language: `אחת two שלוש` - When you get to the "Add data" step, the caption in Hebrew is shown. -- Observed: The HTML element that contains the caption doesn't have the correct lang and dir attributes. The text is shown with the word אחת on the left-hand end and the word שלוש on the right-hand end. -- Expected: The text must be shown with the word אחת on the right-hand end and the word שלוש on the left-hand end.

I appreciate that "try to select all files with a specific tag across all of Flickr" is probably undesirable, but some users (especially large-scale uploaders like the BL example above) use tags systematically rather than albums - would it be possible for `user/tags/...` to be supported for selecting groups of files?

Because people are already misclassifying pictures using the Upload Wizard. I searched for depictions of https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1683601 in the Commons Android app, and observed that two thirds of the images are misclassified. All items that are often selected as depictions already have a P18, fortunately.

    When I upload a file with UploadWizard and enter the description in several languages, the language code (and thus the language my browser uses for spellchecking) is always the default language. Instead, UploadWizard should set the correct language code on the input field, which it does know from the language select input above the description input field.

    **Problem** When I upload a bunch of files, it's natural for me to describe them in captions and leave descriptions blank since the former are shown above the latter in the form, only to find out when I try to publish that descriptions are required, and now I need to go back and copy everything over. **Proposed solutions** - Reorder the fields so that required fields are grouped above optional fields - Automatically use captions as descriptions if captions are provided but descriptions are not - Surface validation signals earlier (before clicking on Publish) so that people won't make the same mistakes across all files

    On another forum, a user reported the following chain of events: * Freely-license photo is found online * Photo includes EXIF data with GPS coordinates * User uploads it to Wikimedia Commons * A bot (presumably [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:DschwenBot | DschwenBot ]]) extract the GPS from EXIF data and adds a {{Location}} tempalte * Such information allows to trace back the original author * Uploader removes {{Location}} template * Bot adds {{Location}} again * Uploader strips EXIF location data, using a third-party tool (“an app”) − unclear whether mobile, desktop, or web-based − and (presumably) reuploads * (Unclear whether the older version of the file was revision deleted by a sysop afterwards) Reactions from other users on that forum seem to indicate that some tooling should solve this issue. It is unclear to me whether the better workflow would be: * //preventive// − offering at upload time (presumably in #uploadwizard − although it is unconfirmed whether this was the upload tool used in this particular case). The drawback of this is that UW is not the only upload method out there. * //corrective// − on an already uploaded file, a one-click "purge geoloc from EXIF" + reupload new version. This could easily be implemented as a web-based Toolforge tool. As EXIF data is generally appreciated on Wikimedia Commons, it is likely that such a workflow would be considered as potentially open to abuse, this should be factored in the solution (eg access restrictions) This task should be to determine which of these two workflows (or others I did not think of) is preferable. As this issue is not specific to Wikimedia Commons, it could be helpful to know how other popular image-uploading platforms (Flickr, Unsplash, 500px, etc.) tackle this issue (if at all).

    I've been hesitant to file this bug for months, but recently I was in Central America and ran into this bug constantly. Sorry I don't have more technical details. Steps to reproduce: 1. Be on a slow internet connection. I know that's vague, but let's say >500kbps for upload speed. 2. Try to upload a file that is 2MB or larger using Special:UploadWizard or Special:Upload. Expected results: File uploads successfully after about 2-3 minutes. Actual results: File uploads for about 2 minutes and then fails with the message "Could not proceed due to network connectivity issues. Make sure you have a working internet connection and try again." I have no idea why 2MB seems to be the magical threshold, but I was usually able to upload smaller files, but rarely anything 2MB or larger. I had no problems doing the same thing on other sites like Dropbox, although it might take forever. Some logs of trying to upload 2 files that are 1.7 MB and 2MB: {F28364407} If it finishes in 1.2 minutes or less, it works. If it takes longer, it fails. When it finally fails, it throws the following console error: `https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php net::ERR_SPDY_PING_FAILED` This is in Chrome 72.0.3626.121 on MacOS. Download speed ~1.2 Mbps and upload speed ~0.4 Mbps.

    **What's happening** User select files in UploadWizard and complete every steps. On the last step, while uploads are finalized, somes files are succesful but then we see a message saying "You must be logged in to upload this file.". Opening a new page indeed show we are logged out. Logging In again and retrying may result in the same behavior when pressing "Retry failed upload". The session is not expired or timed out when uploading, I tried with a fresh new session and another browser. Because of this issue I now upload in batch of ~200, and after 100 files or so the session "expires". An IRC user suggested I open an issue in case someone else eventually face the same issue.

    If I try to upload a file with a 250-character ASCII filename, the Upload Wizard allows me to submit the form but then the upload fails. If I click "Back" and then "Next" I can get back to the file description stage, but with no indication of which files failed. To reproduce: Start the Upload Wizard. Click "Select media files to share", choose a file, then "Add more images" and choose another one. Click "Continue". On the next page ("Release rights"), click "These files are my own work". Click "Next". On the next page ("Describe"), completely fill the "Image title" box for one image with 250 ASCII characters. Write a short title for the other image. Also provide a description and if necessary a date for each one. Note that there is no indication that the long title is a problem. Click "Publish". The next page will indicate that one upload has succeeded and the other has failed, with a message "Filenames may not be longer than 240 bytes." Click "Back". This will return you to the "Release rights" page. From there if you click "Continue" you will be returned to the "Describe" page, but there will be no indication which files need their names shortened and which have been successfully uploaded. What should happen is that (a) the "Describe" page should reject excessively long filenames and (b) there should be a better recovery route when uploads fail.

    Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Upload 50 files 2. Choose license 3. Type the title, descriptions, categories, coordinates for 49 files (takes about 2 hours) 4. Two hours is enough to receive tens of messages requiring me to do other things in the browser and open various websites, also using heavy map websites to find coordinates, so after two hours the probability that the browser has crashed at least once is 50%. So, let's Assume your browser crashes (it is not a worst-case scenario, it happens often to me and just happened again right now after typing metadata for 30 files). Or maybe your OS forces you to restart, or there is a power shutdown (happens often too here). 5. Open your browser again 6. Expected: You can continue where you left. Actually: You have to start again from zero, and probably just give up. Upload Wizard should regularly save the typed metadata (and obviously the uploaded files too).

    Commons would like to modify the system message, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:File-deleted-duplicate, to include a link to the deletion log for the file in question. However, certain files require the parser {{urlencode:...} to function properly. When added to the parser does not render and the system message breaks. Testing on the beta cluster, the message renders as: A file identical to this file ([[:$1]]) has previously been deleted. You should check that file's [https://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Log/delete?type=delete&page={{urlencode:$1}} deletion history] before proceeding to re-upload it. If the parser could be fixed so we can update the system message to include the link it would be appreciated. We could also add the link from inside MediaWiki itself, so all wikis would benefit :)

    In the old upload wizard you could type something in the category line and if you just clicked anywhere outside the field you had you category automatically assigned. In this way you never missed any category. In the new one you must also press "enter" after you type. If you don't the text stays there, but no real category is actually assigned, the text is just ignored. As I was used to the first method for years, I am missing many categories I want to place. Can you please make it like before? (ask me if not clear) Thank you

    When using the Wikimedia Commons mobile application this is already a thing, if you wish to add something to let's say "Skyscrapers in Colombia" it will automatically suggest "Skyscrapers in Bogota" and other sub-categories, many users are simply unaware of what the appropriate sub-category to place something in is as not everyone checks a category before they upload a medium and this will prevent a parent category from becoming "too populated".

    When you wish to upload something to Wikimedia Commons but aren't 100% familiar with the the appropriate name of the category you often get a list of categories based on what you search 🔍. However if you would add a category that's only a redirect the files you upload will end up in the redirect and will have to be moved either manually or automatically by a bot, let's say the category is called "Bridges in Brazil" but you add it to "Brazilian bridges" then the files end up in the latter category, one way for redirects to work better (and to actually be a benefit to the users rather than a sometimes confusing hassle) would be that even if you click on "Brazilian bridges" that the UploadWizard will then automatically "autocorrect" it as "Bridges in Brazil".

Example after walking along the Seine river: 3 pictures of Notre Dame, then 4 pictures of Louvre, then 5 pictures of Eiffel Tower. Ideally I would upload these 12 pictures like this in Upload Wizard: 1. For the first picture, enter title "View of Notre Dame while walking along the Seine", and categories "Notre Dame" and "Seine". 2. Press "Copy information to all following". 3. For the fourth picture, change "Notre Dame" to "Louvre" in the title, remove the "Notre Dame" category, add the "Louvre" category. 4. Press "Copy information to all following". 5. For the eighth picture, change "Louvre" to "Eiffel Tower" in the title, remove the "Louvre" category, add the "Eiffel Tower" category. 6. Press "Copy information to all following", and you're done. That's 7 typing operations to perform. Currently, to achieve the same with the Upload Wizard I have to perform 21 typing operations. Both Vicuña and the Android Commons app have this feature.

T166024 It enjoy a wide industry and hardware support. **What about HE-AAC** This format adds backwards compatible features to the AAC encoder for [[https://developer.apple.com/library/content/technotes/tn2236/_index.html|supporting low bit-rates]]. HE-AAC is typically used for bit-rates 32–80 kbps and HE-AAC v2 for 16–40 kbps.

    Would it be possible to create the category when uploading with the wizard? This would be helpful for books and for their images to be used on Wikisource.

    We need a mechanism to pass **object location** via url-parameter to the UW. How can this be achieved? Object location are given in many lists - camera location cannot be given for unknown images! There are some known workarounds (bots adding object location as extracted from the lists): * Erfgoedbot adds object location to images assigned to WLM lists objects async (see T72437) * Krdbot does the same for images in Austrian WLM lists objects. (kind of duplicate work for the Austrian monument lists in the WP:de) But this does not cover all the lists. example lists not covered: * https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Naturdenkm%C3%A4ler_in_Wien/Mariahilf * https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Wiener_Gemeindebauten/Mariahilf * https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Kunstwerke_im_öffentlichen_Raum_in_Wien/Mariahilf … (see the small camera icon = tailored upload button, taking coordinates from template args Breitengrad & Längengrad (= object location)) Passing object location via url-parameters lat & lon does not work: * these are overwritten by Exif location (and thus get lost) * if there is no exif location, lat & lon end in the location template, which is wrong I tried a bit to pass object location differently: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:at-Wiener-Wohnen and https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Gemeindebau_Wien_Tabellenzeile (using the UW acc. to the former campaign) passing the object location is clumsy and it is put to a less optimal position inside the information template (should be below). I did not manage to put it after the information template with given UW parameters. So what would be the proper solution (in case of lists like WLM): object location can be passed by URL-parameters camera location can be extracted from Exif data (or eventually given during upload?) Both locations might be missing independently. To not break the interface, I propose to add another set of lat / lon for object location and change the UW urls in the list templates accordingly.

    For policy reasons, Wikimedia Commons doesn't want to host videos using proprietary file formats, like MP4 (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Requests_for_comment/MP4_Video). UploadWizard used to use the Firefogg extension (https://firefogg.org/) for on-the-fly transcoding of MP4 files to OGG in the user's browser. But due to changes to how Firefox handles extensions, this is soon to stop working (https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2016/11/23/add-ons-in-2017/) and it seems already impossible to install the extension. With modern browsers' fast JavaScript engines and HTML5 file APIs, it should totally be possible to implement transcoding in JavaScript, without shelling out to external executables, like Firefogg did. As a bonus, that would work on more browsers than Firefox.

    I wanted to upload free images of Grey Dagger Moth Caterpillar so I pasted into upload wizard https://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/greydaggermothcaterpillar URL. The Wizard started showing rotating circle and never recovered. There are only 36 images using this tag and some are under free license.

    "Describe" stage in UploadWizard has an option "Copy information to all uploads following..." and clicking it allows you to copy descriptions, categories and other metadata used in the first file to all the other uploads. **When copying categories or descriptions the copied text should not erase existing text**. In case of copying categories they should be added to already inserted categories. Similarly when copying description the copied text should not erase existing one, but should be merged, or maybe if the script detects that some descriptions are already filled it could give you an option of append / prepend or replace existing text. In my case I was uploading files from Flickr and the image description always shows up as title, which is fine but I need to copy them to description field. The easiest way to do it is to prepend {{subst:PAGENAME}} to description field, which at the moment has to be done by hand. In other cases all images in the flickr album are related to a specific place and descriptions only make sense in the context of that place so I need to add first sentence explaining the location. I also think the name of the section should be just "Copy information to all uploads ...".

    When uploading files from a directory or Flickr album with large number of files (like [[ https://www.flickr.com/photos/52450054@N04/albums/72157626817701004 | this one ]]) it is hard to keep track of where you are in the list, what was already uploaded and what still needs to be. Current upload form allows 50 uploads at a time so I would propose to place a vertical line separating batches of 50 files on the page, maybe even with numbers: 50, 100, 150, etc. Alternative approach would be to just place a number next to each icon. If number of uploads is raised as suggested in T135085. I would still keep either the numbers or dividers every 50 or 100 files.

    "Own work" should not be pre-selected in the Upload Wizard and potentially other upload tools. We get lots of copyright violations that are marked as "own work" at Commons. This makes it easy to just "click through" the Wizard, without bothering to think about this issue. Selecting "own work" should always be a conscious choice. Additionally, since by far the most common copyright violation is grabbing an image from the web, I'd propose to add "This file was found on the net." as a third option to "own work" and "not own work" with additional guidance for those cases.

    UploadWizard allows upload of files from flickr and is available to authorized users as described in T77278. Unfortunately it does not work for videos like [[ https://www.flickr.com/photos/miamism/6035076567/in/photolist-5cK8Ti-4FMbYb-acim1g-6LDzdF-6egUau-7UFgj2-drtyc5-dhCafB-8Hno6r-dhBibE-dhBob8-9rVxpj-ad46sZ-9rVvc1-dhDqE5-7NFNGJ-9qdYca-sYD3yU-dhBmNw-dhC6j8-dhBmqU-dhEqHG-6C7Lyy-73SJB7-6VfskW-N5KAXP-LKevpj-MfHxtq-MwDQWL-rww75K | this file]].

    We currently have two different widgets for editing a list of categories, with different but largely overlapping functionalities. We should only have one. `ve.ui.MWCategoryWidget` is used by VisualEditor, in the Page options → Categories dialog. `mw.widgets.CategorySelector` is used by UploadWizard on the "Describe" step, and in the file upload dialog (`mw.ForeignStructuredUpload.BookletLayout`, which is used by VisualEditor and WikiEditor). || `mw.widgets.CategorySelector` | `ve.ui.MWCategoryWidget` | |---|---|---| |Screenshot| {F4582307} | {F4582298} | |Widgets used|`CapsuleMultiSelectWidget`|`ButtonWidgets`+`TextInputWidget`+`Popup`| |API|action=opensearch|action=query/allcategories| |Can set sort key for category|{icon times color=red}|{icon check color=green}| |Can reorder categories|{icon times color=red} (requested {T108490})|{icon check color=green}| |Can edit (not just delete)|{icon check color=green}|{icon times color=red} (requested {T67518})| |Can view category page|{icon check color=green}|{icon times color=red} (requested {T56656})| |Cross-wiki|{icon bomb color=green, spin} (hacky)|{icon times color=red}|

    When there is a problem with the uploads, we display error/warning messages next to each field, and also a short summary at the bottom next to the "Next" button, like: * "There are 2 errors with the form above. Correct the errors, and try submitting again." * "There is one warning with the form above. We recommend correcting it before continuing." Clicking "Next" will also scroll up to the location of the top-most error or warning. This is somewhat annoying and not very helpful, since it doesn't put focus on the field, and in case of warnings there's a message box popping up that obscures everything. So I think we should remove the current scrolling behavior, and instead add buttons like "Jump to first error" and Jump to first warning" after these summaries. Clicking them would scroll up and focus the problematic field. Screenshot for reference: {F4534070}
