UploadWizard
UploadWizard adalah sebuah wizard JavaScript multi-berkas, langkah demi langkah untuk mengunggah berkas multimedia ke situs MediaWiki. Wizard ini tersedia sebagai Extension:UploadWizard.
Alasan
The Upload Wizard aims to make it easier to contribute multimedia works to Wikimedia projects.
This tool is widely used to upload images on Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository associated with Wikipedia; any media file shared on that site can be used in any Wikipedia page in any language. Wikimedia Commons is curated by a multilingual community. As of late 2023, it contains nearly 100 million files.
More details about the origins of this project can be found in the Upload Wizard archive page; instructions for reporting bugs and leaving feedback are located at Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.

Bugs
We keep track of Upload Wizard bugs in the bug tracker.
Before 2014, many bugs have accumulated for this project, because Wikimedia Foundation did not have a dedicated team to address them. Now that the multimedia team has taken ownership of Upload Wizard, we will work diligently to fix the most important bugs first, then gradually resolve the rest of the relevant issues over time. Thanks for your patience and understanding :) If you find any technical bugs, please report them.
