Wikimedia Bugzilla is closed!

As with a lot of your tickets for UW, this one can be solved with a configuration change. Look for 'autoWikiText' in the config file for UW and put in {{subst:OP}} and whatever else you'd like into the file's page. Closing as not-a-bug (invalid), because it's never been a problem.

I cannot look in some config file. damn! Stop closing that bugs!

Saibo,

First, you _can_, just not on Commons. For that, file a bug in the proper section of Bugzilla (Wikimedia -> Site configuration) as opposed to UploadWizard, because we don't make site-specific configuration changes in the repository itself, since every wiki might have a different way of dealing with this sort of thing.

Second, there was absolutely no reason for you to up the importance of this bug. It doesn't appear to be a huge problem the way it is, so it's definitely not "Highest" "blocker".

Sorry, realized I could just recategorize. People in site configuration, please consider making the above config change for Commons.

I am no programmer of UW, but I know I can recat. I know the same people are responsible for UW wether it is programming or Wikimedia config changes. So, please do your job WMF guys. It is you who pushed that UW to Commons. So fix your bugs.

Of course not - but maybe it gets seen then. ;-)

To all: See also the talk at Commons (link above).

I try to make it a bit easier for the UW fans and suggest a wording:

Currently:
##########
The copyright holder published this work with the right Creative Commons license

Not all Creative Commons licenses are good for this site. Make sure the copyright holder used one of these licenses:
##########

Should be:
##########
The copyright holder published or wants to publish this work under a Creative Commons license.

* If the work is already published under that license online add URLs and short quotation of the permission text to the source field above. Also add the tag {{LicenseReview}}.
* If the work is not already published under that license online please follow the steps described at [[COM:OTRS]] (the copyright holder has to send an email) and add {{subst:OP}} to the source field above.

Not all Creative Commons licenses are good for this site. Make sure the copyright holder used or wants to use one of the following licenses:
##########

Btw: I used "source field" in my text above - that is not the best choice. In fact all that permission stuff should be added to the permission= field of the Information template. But Upload wizard currently does not feature such a field.

Tip: have a look at the texts at https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=en which the UW designers seemingly ignored.

I don't see consensus in the discussion for this request to make the UW so much more cluttered: only "Will the OTRS mail and link be added to the UploadWizard? --WikedKentaur (talk) 08:50, 10 February 2012 (UTC)" and you filing this bug.
Closing invalid until there is clear consensus with a proposed text.

Personally, I agree that there needs to be more information but probably this is not the way to go: there is https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Welcome_to_Commons_brochure and the initial infographics with information on licenses may be updated, I don't know.
