Re: [Wikitech-l] The future of UploadWizard

Hi, just a quick update to let you know that I've started working on the forked extension – MediaUploader . Currently I'm cleaning up the codebase, renaming things and restructuring a few mechanisms, you can see the details in this task

Re: [Wikitech-l] The future of UploadWizard

Thank you all for all the valuable input! I think I'll move forward with the fork in the second half of February (I'm a bit short on time for now). I'll notify Wikitech-l once I have a repo and a list of tasks set up. :) As for Vue – yes, I'll definitely keep an eye on that. For now I'm

Re: [Wikitech-l] The future of UploadWizard

It's also worth mentioning that WMF is early in the process of adopting vue. Hopefully we do this in a sane way, porting the good things from OOJS-UI into a centralized design system with a comprehensive component library. I mention it because you may want to keep an eye on that progress and see

Re: [Wikitech-l] The future of UploadWizard

Thank you Jon for taking the time and effort to give a comprehensive answer. :) Honestly, this is what I expected and I won't question the priorities set by WMF. I'm just looking into how the UploadWizard project could be continued in the future, and with what parties involved. Would it make

Hey Folks, I just wanted to flag that we heard the question and had circle up to get you an informed answer as the answer spans several teams. The most literal answer to Ostrzyciel's email is: "no, there are no plans or resources allocated to doing anything other than fix breaking upload wizard

Re: [Wikitech-l] The future of UploadWizard

While we're at, I would like to mention that these upload dialogs really don't help with enforcing any kind of image description standard. They allow users to just drag and drop files, which is intuitive and nice, but also does not ask them to specify the source of the media. In my practice, this

Re: [Wikitech-l] The future of UploadWizard

That comment may be referring to improving the core uploader so the extension can be depreciated. Has UW gone under a code stewardship request? On Thu, 4 Feb 2021, 8:33 am Strainu, wrote: > As the deafening silence of this thread probably shows, a discussion is > not really possible. The WMF

Re: [Wikitech-l] The future of UploadWizard

As the deafening silence of this thread probably shows, a discussion is not really possible. The WMF has had 0 interest in making uploads easier in the last few years. To be fair, faced with furios opposition from the Commons community for even basic improvements such as allowing imports from

[Wikitech-l] The future of UploadWizard

Hi, I would like to uhhh... start the discussion? ask for opinions? about the future of UploadWizard. It is a rather special extension, that was from the start made mostly for Commons' very specific needs and getting it to work anywhere else presents some challenges (some of which I attempt to
