I just tried to upload a file on Commons and I encountered a rather annoying issue. I filled in many fields on the upload page, but the file description page and upload summary are blank. Steps to reproduce: * enable the mwEmbed gadget on Commons * go to Special:Upload * fill in some of the fields (I filled in Original source, Author, Date, Description, Additional info, Licensing and Categories) * upload Current behaviour: * The description page and upload summary are blank. Expected behaviour: * The description page and upload summary should be the same as for an upload without the mwEmbed gadget enabled (i.e. the information entered into the fields should be added as parameters of the {{information}} template, section headings should be added, as well as the license and categories).
that does sound annoying... looks like the upload.js was not cooperating with the upload code re-factor: Fix submitted in: r60706 Can be seen working in this test "working" upload: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Folgers_test_form2.ogv Subsequently pushed out to prototype. ( shift reload using gadget should get commons.js form script output )
A similar issue is happening again. The information template is all that's being displayed. Section headers & the license template are being stripped during the upload. This doesn't happen when the mwEmbed gadget is disabled.
