Well, in a perfect world, no user should have to understand the distinction between Commons and Wikipedia. If their license is appropriate for Commons, it should go there. If it's only appropriate for the wiki they are talking to, it should go there.

I agree that in a mobile context, adding a photo to a page may well be the #1 contribution activity. So I'm not against it having a prominent place especially on mobile.

(I'm just of the opinion that we should carefully scrutinize every link. And that the distinction between "Upload a File" and "Edit this page" seems to more about how we wrote the software, rather than any division of these tasks in the user's mind.)

Anyway perhaps we should consider a new paradigm for photo submission to Wikipedia -- some kind of grab-all where uploaded files live at the bottom of the page. Then editors can fish photos out of that area for use elsewhere in the article. We'd have to be careful that this results in good submissions, though, since it would be easy to add dozens of photos that way.
