Thank you Nick for your reply. wpUploadDescription is not something I can override in LocalSettings.php... can I?
From what I understand that's a parameter I could pass in Special:Upload through the URL. And it doesn't affect the file page resulting from the upload, it only affects Special:Upload itself, right? I'm surprised there is no easy way to customize this via one of the bazillion Mediawiki:messages. Thank you again though.
