addMediaWiz is not a function
Also, some of the loaded js files have // in the path. The file loads without problems, but it could cause problems if it was hosted in an environment using mod_rewrite, for example. --Tgr 17:30, 3 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I have created a gadget that should work (that includes the mv_embed js that is needed for the gadget to work) please check out the mwEmbed gadget Mdale 19:02, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

It works with the new edit toolbar, doesn't with the old one though -- the button does not even appear. (I tried to use the new toolbar but gave up; too much loss of functionality.) --Tgr 16:33, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Did some rearranging of things to increase chances of working with old tool-bar in r57628 (will be pushed out shortly) --Mdale 21:09, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

The old toolbar button seems to exist in a state of quantum uncertainty. For a day or two it worked fine; right now it does not appear, even through the gadget script seems to run fine (at least it sends a lot of log messages to the Firebug console, and no error). --Tgr 10:20, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yea seems to be a problem with $j.wikieditor being defined even if using the old toolbar. I have put in a more generalized check in r57863 so add-media-wiz should work with old toolbar now. Mdale 20:26, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Works with the enhanced toolbar nicely
Just tried add-media-wizard from the enhanced toolbar. Search relevance, cropping and caption of the image, they all worked nicely. Can't wait to integrate into the enhanced toolbar. Shuhari 22:39, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Description extraction
Hi. Been using Add Media Wizard for a while now, great tool!

Would it possible to fill the thumb caption by extracting only the description field of the Information template? Maybe even, by detecting the active user language or the general language of the project, extracting only the relevant language description using Language templates?

Indeed, looking for (or some other language, based on user language) seems to be the best way to get a description on Commons. --Tgr 16:34, 10 October 2009 (UTC)


 * oky added in language parse description for initial in-line description: r57627 --Mdale 21:01, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Search for english name
Since Commons is mostly English (and the other sources even more), it might be better to search for the en: interwiki than the name of the article by default. --Tgr 15:33, 16 October 2009 (UTC)


 * yea it would be nice if we integrated with the wikiword efforts Mdale 20:33, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Indeed, but Wikiword seems to be far from being ready, and checking the interwiki is a trivial thing. Right now the default search is useless for most articles on non-English wikis. --Tgr 23:47, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
