Like mentioned in bug 33234 it is easy for the a potential upload to find the
wizard, but often he won't be able to include his picture to the article.

I suggested at different approach here:

What about some additional get parameters like project, language and
page/article when you link to upload wizard from an article? 

This would offer a lot of potential workflow improvement:

1. You could use those parameters to create a link to the article the user
called upload wizard from. You could write: "Now insert
[[:File:.....|thumb|....]] to this article.

2. You could even link to editing the article and inserting the file source
code (maybe by asking him the paragraph he wants to insert the image at?)

A different handling for infoboxes would be great, since there are a lot of
infoboxes, that use the image as parameter.
