--- Comment #2 from Fabrice Florin <fflo...@wikimedia.org> ---
Thanks for pointing this out, Dominic! Are you sure that the 'date' field of
the 'Information' template of the description is used inconsistently? I thought
that field was clearly intended as the creation date in the upload wizard. If
that's the case, then I think the 'Created by' label is fine. If that's not the
case, it would be possible for us to just say 'Date', but it's not ideal.

Gergo,if we are using different types of dates in the same place, I think we
should change the label to clearly indicate what users are seeing: 'Created by'
or 'Uploaded by'. Otherwise, this will lead to confusion.

When we do the structured data upgrade with Wikidata this summer, we will need
two separate fields to address this issue: 'Creation date' should never be
mixed in with 'Upload date', IMHO, it would be better to leave it blank. We may
even want to consider a third field for file edits or overwrites: 'Modification
date'.
