Our traditional editor toolbars have buttons to insert a [[File:Foo.png]] or similar, but not that would help you with the actual editing process. A button that launches the UploadWizard -- possibly uploading to Commons -- and ends with inserting the image(s) into the article would be a big leap forward. -------------------------- User journey: # User clicks on "insert media" # In the dialog, user clicks on "upload new" {F1000} //… or 'User drags a file into the editor', see T40031 // 3. Dialog is launched {F1000} 4. User confirms that the media file is theirs, and accepts that it will thus be under the default licence (CC-BY-SA-3.0); file starts uploading with a progress bar (indeterminate for now) //… or user is directed to Special:Upload if local uploads are available.// //… or user is directed to Special:UploadWizard on Commons.// 5.
