Commons:Upload Wizard feedback/Archive/2014/09

WMF plans for 2014-15

Just to make it clear for the beginning, I have no idea what mw:UploadWizard#Goals is talking about. Numbering them for clarity, they are:

1. engage more users to contribute media
2. provide a smoother experience for all
3. add more media content on our sites
4. fix critical bugs, to make things work better
5. Plan & discuss improvements
6. Solve bugs & technical debt
7. Improve the user experience
8. Incremental code refactoring
9. Develop new modal tool for other uses

2, 7 are empty words; 1, 5 are not concrete; 3 is not the UploadWizard's focus; 9 is uncomprehensible. In other words, I'd adore if the Wikimedia Foundation exclusively focused on 4+6 (they're the same thing) and 8. The rest is uncalled for.

Some remarks

• The description textbox should be substantially bigger to be comfortable and to manifest that the description should be thoroughgoing.
• The link "Add location and more information…" and the textbox "Other information" is misleading and causes that some users write the detailed description into this field instead into the description field. Additional informations should be placed outside the Information template but should be placed into the corresponding field of the Information template (permission and right notes to the Permission field, information about campaigns or circumstances of the origin to the Source field, information about the author to the Author field etc. The form needs more drop-down textboxes corresponding to the separate fields of the Information template.
• The location box should distinguish properly the camera location from the object location (or even to allow to fill both together). A heading field should be added and recommended to be filled-in.
• The coordinates boxes should be attached to the description box and field, its an inherent part of the content description information.
• The license tag should be integrated rather to the "permission" field of the {{Information}} template than added outside the template.
• The WLM tag and similar tags should be integrated rather to the "source" field of the {{Information}} template.
• The date field should be equipped with an radio button or drop-down list to choose what the date really means (date of taken, date of last modification, date of creation, date of the first publication) etc. and the date should be entered with a proper template expressing the meaning of the date ({{Taken on}} etc.]. The form should allow to enter more dates together.
• The date copied from EXIF should be presented in {{According to EXIF data}} to allow to take account of possible incorrect setting of the camera.
• Language templates of the description should be separated (every template starting at a new line) to keep the source code uncluttered.
• The monument ID template from WLM campaigns should be separated at a new line, not attached closely after the description text.
• The license tag should be integrated rather to "permission" field of the {{Information}} template.
• The WLM tag should be integrated rather to "source" field of the {{Information}} template.

@MarkTraceur: and @GDubuc (WMF): . I would like to point out that many of the suggestions above are a transformations of current practices to UploadWizard UI. I think that long term the goal of the team is that fewer of these practices will require user interaction and thus no UI and controls at all (should be part of the MediaWiki system, instead of wikitext templates).

Should I understand it that UploadWizzard is frozen and without any maintenance and improvement now, because something should to replace it, in a hazy future past tens of years, if ever? Why the UploadWizzard form links to the feedback page? Is the feedback wanted and exploited, or isn't? I can see none constructive reaction to my remarks. --ŠJů (talk) 23:14, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

caricamento non riuscito

Ho caricato piu fotografie con la descrizione ma non riesco mai ad inviarle Locos (talk) 19:36, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Locos, mi spiace! Ci aiuterebbe molto se ci dessi qualche informazione aggiuntiva, in particolare quale navigatore tu stia usando e che versione: per caso Internet Explorer? Hai provato anche in altri programmi, per esempio Firefox, e hai ottenuto lo stesso risultato? --Nemo 21:21, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

De knop volgende werkt niet als ik ale velden heb ingevuld. Christine710 (talk) 11:20, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Link to Upload Wizard Feedback from Special:UploadWizard does not work

(I had to work my way here manually) The link "commons:Upload_Wizard_Feedbak" that is behind the Feedback link on Special:UploadWizard does not work because (at least Firefox) interpretes "commons:" as a protocol scheme (as "http:" or "ftp:") isntead of a relative path--Hagman (talk) 19:01, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

As I mentioned above (23:38, 31 August 2014 (UTC)). --ŠJů (talk) 23:18, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

You have to left click the link, not open it a new tab. It works by loading some JavaScript dialog, it's not meant to be a link to this page. --Nemo 21:23, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Isn't possible to define some more meaningful reaction when an user use the right click? An user uses the links naturally in standard ways, he can not suppose what "is not meant". The described reaction (open a new page with nonsense address) is not just OK. --ŠJů (talk) 19:36, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I was merely describing how to work around it. TheDJ fixed it now, gerrit:158896 which will be live on September 16. --Nemo 14:10, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Distance

Hello. There is a distance between the liecenew and the categories --ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 19:09, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
