Bug ID: 46748
Summary: Make a more specific interface for special:Upload when
reuploading over an existing file
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Uploading

Special:Upload uses almost the same interface when uploading a new version over
an existing file as it does when uploading a new file. From what I can tell
currently only the licensing field is removed when reuploading.
While that's a start, more is needed:
The reupload form should have a distinct id to more easily distinguish between
it and the new upload form.
There should be a separate upload-summary for reuploads (reupload-summary?) -
the upload-summary system message is often used by projects for information
specific to new uploads, sometimes quite a bit of information, and that tends
to be less relevant when reuploading.
'Permitted file types' should either be removed or replaced with a note that
reuploading only supports uploading a new version with the same filetype.
'Destination filename' should be removed - the destination is implicit in that
it's a reupload.
'File changes' should be a single-line input like edit summaries and other
inputs that wind up as log entries; along with the usual reasons (limited
supported length, user inclination to hit enter at the end of a summary to
submit, etc), having it as a full textarea also implies to the user that it is
a description, when it in fact has no effect on the file description itself and
only appears in the file history.
The edittools should not appear here if the charinsert extension is used -
while this is an issue with said extension, changing the file changes field per
above may resolve this part anyway.
