I have been trying for over an hour to upload a slightly modified version of File:Eritrean family.png, which is "a hypothetical Eritrean family tree", because the version currently used on Habesha name (the only use of this file) contradicts the text on that page. To be specific, I'm changing the first name of the family member in the lower right box from Ammanuel (which is the same as the lower-left first name) to Afwerki to conform with the text, which says that "It is against the customs to name a child after a living family member".
So I've filled in everything, about three times over:

The Wikipedia column should be before the Commons column, because the option for new users should go before the option for free files. "Old form" under Commons should be "Old guided form", for consistency and more contrast with "Plain form". "Files for upload wizard" should be "Files for Upload Wizard", because using italics there feels nonstandard. Another thing is that I think "Click here to start the Upload Wizard" should be replaced with "Start the Upload Wizard", because I think "click here" is generally advised against.

How do you upload an image with exclusively of Wikipedia and not of anywhere else, such as an image for WP:TWINKLE? Qwertyxp2000 ( talk | contribs) 07:44, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
Qwertyxp2000: if you mean an image with a license legally limiting its use to Wikipedia only, the answer is there's no way to do that, because all licenses on Wikipedia need to allow re-use elsewhere. If you simply mean an image that's intended for Wikipedia-internal use only, you can use this wizard just as any other upload method, choose the options for "free work" and the appropriate license and upload it locally.

Should all licensing-related templates transcluded in MediaWiki:FileUploadWizard.js, the "gears" behind Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard, have cascading protection? I ask because after realizing Template:Non-free biog-pic was transcluded there ... after realizing that there was an edit request fulfilled there to remove "parameter 1", but then later found out personally that parameter 1 is still utilized in the file upload wizard, and thus reverted the related edits (all of this can be found on the template's edit history), I now worry that editing these templates could have a negative effect on the upload wizard if not performed correctly.

If one selects an image as nonfree, there is a "This file will be used in the following article:" box. Entering various non-"article" pagenames here has some magic, for example, converting the name of a redirect to its actual target. But it looks like at least one of the standard additional templates placed on redirect pages can break this feature. If I enter "Taxol", where Taxol is:
the text field becomes "International nonproprietary name", which is a link in the expansion of {{ R from trade name}}, rather than "Paclitaxel". Is it pulling "last link in the template-expanded file" rather than "link following 'REDIRECT'", or something like that? DMacks ( talk) 14:11, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

If one selects an image as nonfree, there is a "Special source and license conditions (optional)" popup that has an entry "Denver Public Library". By plain-language, that means images from this source have some special licensing arrangement, but there is no further detail there and I don't see a way to have this (or any of these) menu items link to more specific information. Does Denver Public Library have some special collection, for which this option facilitates bulk uploading? Selecting this option tags the image with {{ Non-free Denver Public Library}}. At a minimum that needs to become blue with something like {tl|Non-free ESA media} and others in that menu. DMacks ( talk) 13:59, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Was wondering if it would be possible to add something to the upload wizard specifically about uploading non-free images of living people? I understand that there is a bit about non-free content in "Step 3", but I imagine that most editors do not bother to stop and take the time to go a read
WP:NFC or
WP:NFCCP before continuing on with the wizard. Maybe a check box which says something like "Is this a photo of a living person or persons?" could be added somewhere to the wizard that when checked would provide information like what's found in the note given in
Template:WikiProject Biography when the |needs-photo=
is marked as "yes" in BLP articles. This might stop some people from uploading such images and reduce the time and effort spent finding them and deleting them. There are some certain cases where such an image might be considered acceptable per
WP:NFCC#1 as explained in item 1 of
WP:NFC#UUI, but most of the time the files are clearly replaceable fair use which only end up being deleted. --

Was wondering if it would be possible to add something to the upload wizard specifically about uploading non-free images of living people? I understand that there is a bit about non-free content in "Step 3", but I imagine that most editors do not bother to stop and take the time to go a read
WP:NFC or
WP:NFCCP before continuing on with the wizard. Maybe a check box which says something like "Is this a photo of a living person or persons?" could be added somewhere to the wizard that when checked would provide information like what's found in the note given in
Template:WikiProject Biography when the |needs-photo=
is marked as "yes" in BLP articles. This might stop some people from uploading such images and reduce the time and effort spent finding them and deleting them. There are some certain cases where such an image might be considered acceptable per
WP:NFCC#1 as explained in item 1 of
WP:NFC#UUI, but most of the time the files are clearly replaceable fair use which only end up being deleted. --
