Upload form changes
Appearance
This is a proposal and does not work.
See also brion's post on this.
- Move upload logics out of UploadForm: This will allow the API and extensions to easily upload files.
- Multiple customizable upload forms via Special:Upload/ownwork, etc.
Upload class
[edit]- Abstract upload baseclass
- Subclass UploadFromUpload
- Subclass UploadFromLink
- Subclass UploadFromImport (cross wiki import)
Flow
[edit]SpecialUpload => new UploadForm => new UploadFromUpload => RepoGroup::singleton()->getLocalRepo()->findFile()->upload()
Customizable form
[edit]Special:Upload/ownwork will get its data via MediaWiki:Upload-ownwork. Example file:
* label|filename * file| * label|author * text|author * label|license * selectbox|licenses * label|description * textbox|description
Will create a form with a file input box an author input box and a license selector. The label will be fetched from [[MediaWiki:Upload-ownwork-<label name>/langcode]]. Similarly the license select box will be constructed. Then after upload all this will be transformed using MediaWiki:Upload-ownwork-template which uses {{{template parameters}}} to transform this into something nice:
{{Information |Description={{{description}}} |Author={{{author}}} |Permission={{{{{license}}}}} }}
Modify the text below the upload form
[edit]Edit MediaWiki:Uploadtext
Other stuff
[edit]- commons:MediaWiki:HotCat.js
- Information buttons as in commons:Special:Upload
