Uploading a logo etc
Hallo, when I upload a logo such as File:Logo of National Tax Association (US) 2025.svg, using this wizard, it automatically fills in a certain amount of information about licensing: I just add the one sentence "File will be used once only in one article as a means of visual identification of the association " and put "none" in the "other info" box.
_2025.svg?lang=en){kind=link}
But I find that someone else then comes along and edits the record as in this edit. If this is the desired outcome, could the Upload Wizard please be updated so that it creates it this way? (There were intervening edits to reduce the file size but I don't think they are relevant to my question). This isn't a one-off: I've seen it happen before as here. PamD 20:02, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
Batch uploads
The wizard worked perfectly for this old duffer, gave no problems despite my occasional stumbles uploading a sizeable batch of images. It would be helpful however if when re-using the form with the refresh button, to provide text boxes with the user's previous entry as a default. Doug butler (talk) 00:55, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
Edit request for redesign
 | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please merge the version at Wikipedia:File upload wizard/sandbox. It features a more modern UI by using Codex tokens, which you can test at [1]. Please also merge Wikipedia:File upload wizard/sandbox/styles.css into MediaWiki:FileUploadWizard.css. Make sure to remove the templatestyles tag at the top, and change
{{Clickable button 2|Upload a non-free file|url={{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|withJS=MediaWiki:FileUploadWizard.js}}|style=border-radius:4px; font-size:1.5em; color:var(--color-progressive, #36c);}}

- @Matrix, Could you, for posterity document what changes were made? Sohom (talk) 12:53, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Sohom Datta: sure:
- Button at front page changed from color: #36c to color:var(--color-progressive, #36c);
- I changed the main upload element with a grey border to var(--background-color-progressive-subtle, #f1f4fd) background colour and var(--border-color-progressive, #6485d1); border
- Red and green border elements were changed so their background/border colours used the Codex equivalent (background-color-destructive-subtle for red, background-color-success-subtle for green)
- No changes made to JS. —Matrix ping mewhen u reply (t? - c) 14:28, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
