Hello,

I don't have the new tab to export a local file to Commons.

For example, I want to move [https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%ED%8C%8C%EC%9D%BC:Mujujeja1.jpg this file] from wp:ko to Commons, but have no "Export to Wikimedia Commons" tab. It doesn't work either in any other language.

The documentation says "FileExporter is now a default feature on all wikis." so I guess I should not activate anything in my preferences, but can you see what could I do?

Thanks.

(meanwhile, another user moved the file on my request, but I need the feature :) )

It looks like you don't have any edits on this wiki. The export button is only shown to users in the "autoconfirmed" group, which typically means 10 edits must have been made, and the user must have been active for a few days. This is an intentional, very basic safety measure to avoid misuse.

Hello Thiemo,

OK, I understand, thank you.
