Summary: Support Flash-based upload widget to handle multiple
file selection
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Uploading
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Standard HTML 4 / XHTML 1 file upload widget only allows you to select one file
at a time, which is terrible.
Flash upload widgets can provide multiple-file selection, as well as some other
nice things like progress feedback. Compare with WordPress's Flash upload
widget; see if it's compatible and could be adapted directly?
(No patent-encumbered codec issues are involved, so this falls under our
acceptable use cases for Flash. Flash's wide install base, and not requireing
the user to click through a full-system-access permissions dialog to do file
uploads, make it more attractive for this purpose than Java.)
When Flash isn't available, should naturally fall back to the standard upload
widget. (It should also be possible to select the standard upload widget
manually, in case of difficulties with the particular version.)
Requires actual backend support for dealing with multiple file uploads -- bug
