Hi,

UploadWizard has a lot of bugs and is sometimes defacto unusable.

Hi. UploadWizard is maintained by a three-person team, and it's only one of many responsibilities every of us has. Personally I find it perfectly usable.

I actually spend a bit of time working on it in the last two weeks, fixing a number of issues which would result in not being able to finish the upload if something went wrong. We're even boasting about this in the next Tech News: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2015/39

Can you point to specific issues that are especially problematic for you?


See error reports here:

So I looked at the last ten, findings below. This page would be much more useful if it was tended to by Commons community a bit more.

These are in Spanish, I think? Apologies, but I do not speak Spanish. I can take bug reports in Polish and English. :)

These are in German. I do not speak German either. Two of them are linked to Phabricator bugs, which is nice, and both of the bugs are resolved.

This just says "I can not up lord." (sic). That is, unfortunately, not a useful bug report.

"Upload Wizard is not working.". Not useful :(

This describes https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T106968 , which is one of the problems I fixed last week.

This is T106968 again, and also https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T48741 , which I also fixed last week.

This is interesting and finally something new. Can you file a but?

It would be useful if the file in question was available for download somewhere, so that we could try to reproduce the issue.

I'm not sure if any of us in Multimedia have the access necessary to try to find out what happened to the failed upload.
