Summary: Use a different form for replacing files
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.14-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Uploading
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
When replacing a file with a newer version, the user is redirected to the
standard upload form, with the only difference being the destination image name
being pre-selected. This is confusing because :
* there is still a (useless) license selector.
* the "summary" field should say that it is only for the replacement summary,
visible only in the file history, and that it will not overwrite the current
description. Many people leave it blank or fill it with the description again
because this is not clear.
* there are warnings about overwriting the current file... which is exactly
what we want to do.
The "replacement upload form" shouldn't include the license selector and should
be clearer regarding what the summary field is for.
Thank you.
