When I go to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page> and click "Upload file" in the sidebar, I'm taken to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Upload>. I click the giant "Click here to Start the Upload Form" link which takes me to <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:File_Upload_Wizard&?withJS=MediaWiki:FileUploadWizard.js>. So our starting point is <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:File_Upload_Wizard&?withJS=MediaWiki:FileUploadWizard.js>. You select a file to upload, pick a file name, fill in a description, click the "This is a free work." option and no upload button appears. This is a major problem. The JavaScript error console for my browser says: Error: Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: .[name="file"] Source File: https://bits.wikimedia.org/en.wikipedia.org/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=jquery%2Cmediawiki&only=scripts&skin=monobook&version=20120829T181910Z Line: 69 Multiple users have confirmed this issue.
This needs to be solved by that wiki's admins.
(In reply to comment #1) > This needs to be solved by that wiki's admins. This bug is valid and a high priority to get fixed. Please don't close the bug until users are able to upload with the default file uploader on the English Wikipedia.
This bug is invalid. The issue is in a script on the wiki (MediaWiki:FileUploadWizard.js). Do not reopen.

Fixed with a few edits by Roan and Ryan K.: <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=509859337&oldid=501698504>. Thank you both!
Thanks to Roan and Ryan for fixing this issue so quickly. Krenair: MZ was correct to open a bug for this, simply stating that 'it needs to be solved by that wiki's admins' isn't the right line of thought, in my opinion. Please consider that in the future there may not be admins that have sufficient experience or knowledge of what could be causing an issue that it could take them significantly longer to fix a problem than the developers who are working on, or are likely to be more well versed with the relevant code. We don't want too start adopting a 'admins must fix things themselves' mentality here, as that could end up being disastrous for small wikis with barely any active admins, let alone ones with developing/code experience!

Roan and kaldari have been super-helpful (way more than community could expect), but the point is rather that bugs in Wikimedia > General can also be filed for things which sysops (or unknown deities) technically have to fix.
