Staging area

aka holding area, incomplete uploads, quarantine section, etc.

Related bugs:

  • bugzilla:4995: Ability to block users from uploading files only
    Listing this bug only as a reminder. This is probably not the way we want to handle this kind of users.
  • bugzilla:2537: Ability to preview summary in "Upload file" page.
    Will probably be INVALID after the redesign of the upload process, since we don't want any (wiki)text on the upload page itself. Preview will be included in the next step of the upload where the user provides pieces of information about their file.
  • bugzilla:16437: Ability to preview vector/re-rendered images in Special:Upload "warning" interstitial.
  • bugzilla:20326: Option to strip some metadata on upload (GPS/geolocation privacy)

Multiple Upload

Allow several files to be uploaded at the same time (5 to 10)

  • possibility to add the same description(s), license(s), category(ies), geocode to all the pictures
  • but also to specify custom data for each

Related bugs:

Metadata extraction

Extract relevant metadata from files on upload

  • Priority: EXIF
  • IPTC and XMP would be nice too, especially since XMP can host multilingual descriptions
  • where we store these metadata (existing templates, structured data) will be determined later.

See Multimedia:Metadata#Metadata extraction

  • Check if the source or the file provides copyright information
