In function getInitialPageText in SpecialUpload.php hardcoded headings 
are added to the license and file description provided by the user. It 
would be great, if those hardcoded headings could be changed to a 
MediaWiki message that can be altered onwiki. On Commons, which is 
multilingual, for example the headings are more like information clutter 
than useful structuring tools. The file description heading will always 
be in the user language and the license heading always in the content 
language, English (I have no idea why the difference, but it's in the 
source code). That does add more confusion than benefit. Especially 
since both description and license are wrapped in templates by default 
and thus don't need the headings to be distinguishable.

Would be nice if that could be fixed.

And then I want to bring back to mind my last message about "localize 
transcluded image description pages". My proposal was easy to implement, 
uncontroversial, so I think, and it would provide a big gain in 
usability. At least it's relatively easy to implement for somebody with 
commit access, unlike me. I would appreciate, if somebody could change 
the code. Thank you.
