Nope, we deployed it (mostly just to see if we could), and it works for many people, but it's still buggy, so it's not widely promoted. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard bugzilla - http://bit.ly/UploadWizardBugs > Can a single extension span Commons and Wiktionary? With a minimum of cooperation between the two, we can put an extension on Wiktionary that uploads to Commons, and then you can configure Wiktionary to get some of its media from Commons via the InstantCommons extension. > Would I have to > convince both of them to install my extension before I can use it? No. >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. The usability project has a working system with Add Media Wizard where you can drop in a media file (and even upload it to Commons) while editing an article. I don't know if that meets your needs. I hadn't really thought about special-purpose upload wizards, but it could certainly be done. Maybe the page could be invoked in special ways for slightly altered flows. At the moment my main goal is get the number of crucial bugs down, but this is a cool idea. I happen to have an interest (although not a talent) in ASL since I have a deaf friend, so this might be something I could work on in my spare time. -- Neil Kandalgaonkar |) <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
