It looks like SpecialUpload was reworked in 1.16. Unfortunately the upload description is no longer available to other extensions (via hook). This breaks the SelectCategory extension - the selected categories never end up in the image:... page because SelectCategory can't add them to the upload description. Therefore I propose the following patch: Index: includes/specials/SpecialUpload.php =================================================================== --- includes/specials/SpecialUpload.php (Revision 71214) +++ includes/specials/SpecialUpload.php (Arbeitskopie) @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ /** User input variables from the "description" section **/ public $mDesiredDestName; // The requested target file name - protected $mComment; + public $mComment; protected $mLicense; /** User input variables from the root section **/ If you want to fix this really backwards-compatible, there's another issue: Older versions of Mediawiki used $m_pageObj->mUploadDescription *) In 1.16 it is named $m_pageObj->mComment. Reverting this name change would be nice ;-) *) $m_pageObj is the object passed over in the UploadForm:BeforeProcessing hook
This is fixed in r71903 and r71904 and will be available in the 1.16.1 release. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 24981 ***
