Screenshot of Upload Wizard uploading multiple files
The
Upload Wizard
is the default method for uploading files to Wikimedia Commons. The below screenshot illustrates a typical uploading process. In the first step, a
licensing tutorial
is displayed to the user. In the second step, the user can select one or multiple files (up to 50 files at the time) and begin uploading. In the third step, the user has to clarify the
licensing status
of the file or files. In the fourth step, the user is required to add basic descriptive information for each file. If the files are uploaded successfully, the results are summarized in the final step to make it easy to copy and paste file information for the intended use.
Key resources related to the Upload Wizard
The
Upload Wizard FAQ
carries additional overview information.
The
Upload Wizard talk
page allows users to comment on their experience while uploading files. As a consequence, that page receives a fairly high amount of continuing user comments and discussion, and is a good page for experienced Wikimedia Commons users to monitor.
The
Upload Wizard blacklist issues
page was used by the Wikimedia community to report issues with the
title blacklist
which restricts allowed filenames on Wikimedia Commons.
The
campaign editors
functionality can be used to customize Upload Wizard for multimedia competitions like
Wiki Loves Monuments
and other purposes.
