           Summary: There seem to be 2 versions up the upload form at
                    commons.wikimedia.org
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: General/Unknown
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


Uploading images at commons seems bo be half broken. There are two different
file upload dialogues, and you seem to get one at random for each page load.

Screenshots:
Version 1: https://thuejk.dk/commons_upload_1.png
Version 2: https://thuejk.dk/commons_upload_2.png

I just tested right now, and if I click the "entirely my own work" link at 
  http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload
then I get version 1. But if I manually enter
  
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=ownwork
then I get version 2.

But it is not entirely consistent. A few times where I clicked the "entirely my
own work" link, then I got version 2.

Worse, sometimes it seems that the POST input from one of them is received by
the logic from the other one, leading to a nonsense error about "license not
specified" when submitting from version 1.

If you are using some kind of load balancing, then I am in Europe. Resolving
commons.wikimedia.org gives the following:
t...@h ~> host commons.wikimedia.org
commons.wikimedia.org is an alias for text.wikimedia.org.
text.wikimedia.org is an alias for text.esams.wikimedia.org.
text.esams.wikimedia.org has address 91.198.174.232
