Using only UploadWizard for uploads

Hello! Sorry for writing in English. It was noted that on this wiki upload is not fully functional for users, who will experience a very difficult and/or illegal uploading. In fact, the licenses/copyright tags dropdown is empty, making it hard or impossible to comply with copyright requirements during upload itself.

Presumably, you don't have interest nor energies to have hundreds templates with the now required HTML, even less a local EDP. I propose to have

• local "Επιφόρτωση αρχείου" restricted to the "Διαχειριστές" group (for emergency uploads) and
• the sidebar point to commons:Special:UploadWizard,

so that you can avoid local maintenance and all users can have a functioning, easy upload interface in their own language. All registered users can upload on Commons and existing files will not be affected.

All this will get done around 2014-07-03.

1. If you disagree with the proposal, just remove your wiki from the list. Remember also to create MediaWiki:Licenses locally with any content (see a simple example), or uploads will be soon disabled anyway by MediaWiki itself (starting in version 1.24wmf11).
2. To make the UploadWizard even better, please tell your experience and ideas on commons:Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.

Xoristzatziki and Flyax, does your edit mean that you don't want to upload to Commons? Nemo bis (συζήτηση) 10:34, 2 Ιουλίου 2014 (UTC)

We've never had the chance to discuss this issue in our community. Therefor there is no consensus for or against such a rule. Ι just started a discussion, but I cannot promise we're going to have a swift vote and decision. Either way, uploading files locally was not a usual practice. Personally, I wouldn't object to ruling out local uploads; I don't see any reason to give this privilege to admins, though. --Flyax (συζήτηση) 13:13, 2 Ιουλίου 2014 (UTC)
