Oh, good idea... although an AJAXy webform could also serve that purpose. > Neil may be interested on this. He recently made the UploadWizard. I hadn't heard of this extension, but it looks interesting.

Can a single extension span Commons and Wiktionary? Would I have to convince both of them to install my extension before I can use it? I had planned to prototype this on a third-party server, precisely to avoid interfering with the real infrastructure. I'm trying to minimize the number of required clicks, so I'd hate to push people through a multi-step upload wizard on one site, and then a separate definition-page-creation wizard on another site.
