Bug ID: 49709
Summary: Configuration variable for "always ask for $lang
description" or so
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: UploadWizard

From [[:commons:VP]]:
By default the upload wizard is asking description only in the interface
language of the uploader. Most newbies, especially non-European, give the
description only in their own language not understanding that a description on
English should also be provided, because the upload wizard does not say
anything about it. I suggest that by default description would be asked both in
English and the interface language of the uploader. When looking at possible
copyvios at new files it's making the check of files a lot harder when there is
no description in English.
It would be best to configure this somehow - maybe with "descriptionLangs", a
new array in the UploadWizardConfig that accepts iso639 codes and a set of
special strings (like "USERLANG" or "INTERFACELANG" or "WIKILANG") for
variables.
