SelectionOnUpload is a derivation of Extension:CategoryOnUpload. It adds a custom selection box to the upload page, so that this extension could replace Extension:CategoryOnUpload with this configuration:

$wgSelectionOnUploadList = "your categories";
$wgSelectionOnUploadLabel = "Category: ";
$wgSelectionOnUploadStart = "[[Category:";
$wgSelectionOnUploadEnd = "]]";

Configuration about screenshot image is:

$wgSelectionOnUploadList = "paper tutorial seminar webinar image";
$wgSelectionOnUploadLabel = "Type: ";
$wgSelectionOnUploadStart = "{{box|type=";
$wgSelectionOnUploadEnd = "}}";
