("mediawiki extension" is misleading, I really meant workflow/applications).

The contributor tries to add an illustration to the page of a monument, an
organism, a person, an event in a Wikipedia, Wikiversity etc. She or he is
redirected to an upload wizard, which at the end claims that the image has been
added. However, on returning to the context to which the image was tried to be
added, there is no appearance of the image.

From the perspective of the contributor, this is a failure, the image has been
uploaded but disappeared into some strange corner where it "seemingly"
disappeared.

I therefore propose integration of context into the upload wizard and adding a
"new images" section at the bottom of the context (Wikipedia) page, which gives
feedback to image contributors as well as support for page editors accepting or
rejecting these new images into the main article.
