This ticket is a follow up to T370106 where we added a new option for users to upload images on behalf of someone else with a permission pending template.
These revisions are based on the following community discussions and [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#c-Yann-20250331080400-Excessive_use_of_Permission_pending | here ]] and [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload_Wizard_feedback#VRT_scenario | here ]]

==== The main concerns with the current user flow:
- Permission pending template typically requires users to indicate the intended license at the time of upload. The current flow is missing the step where users can indicate license.
- There is a concern that a new user, who may not be aware of the requirements, may choose an easy path to upload under this option.

==== Proposed user flow:
- Update the message asking users to send email within 30 days to a warning style. This may help users realize the importance of this step.
- Add the mandatory step to select the intended license under the "I have permission to upload..." option.

**Nice to have:**
- When the “I have permission to upload...” option is selected, remove the checkbox “I do not know the author”. Instead show the following warning under the author field. This may help users realize the importance of providing the correct author information when uploading on behalf of someone else.
