**Description**
The goal of this project is to reduce badly uploaded media content on Commons by making improvements to the uploading process through Upload Wizard. This would help reduce moderator burden further down the Commons funnel. See [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:WMF_support_for_Commons/Upload_Wizard_Improvements?useskin=vector-2022 | project page ]].
We have identified UX improvements for the first part of Upload Wizard improvements based on the extensive design discovery work in Q1 (T337408, T344957, T344959) which included the following:
- [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Commons_Image_Moderation-uploaders_report.pdf?useskin=vector-2022 | interviews with uploaders ]]
- [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T340546 | analysis of deletion requests ]]
- [[ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qBWhT5O-47P8xzRxoLpjZ9UaoUzSAt5ZAOnrZwX8nqs/edit | interviews with moderators ]]

We will focus on redesign of two steps:
- Choosing the own vs not own work step
- Specifying release right information for both own and not own work
to make these steps more clear for users, and prevent some of the uploads of content not intended for commons.
**Use case**
As a moderator, I want that uploads that are made are conform with Commons rules so that there is less moderator burden of flagging and reviewing deletion requests.
As a user, when uploading media through Upload Wizard on Commons,
- I want to place my file in the correct own vs not own work category
- I want to ensure that my file satisfies Commons rules and choose the right license option
So that it does not get flagged and deleted in the future.
**Requirements**
Focus: Desktop, Upload Wizard on Commons
- The two steps of upload process are implemented as per designs [placeholder] for uploads of a single file
- Same workflow is extended to multiple files upload
- Necessary tracking in place to capture user interaction (e.g. AI generated option) [TBD]
