Upload Wizard need improvement for metadata

Report a upload Problem

I am currently uploading a lot of images with the Upload Wizard. In general it is a good tool. But the new area for metadata is crazy. I have a lot of images, to which I like to add the same metadata (taken at the same location). Now I have to click each image separately – crazy. Can you please improve it in a way there I can select more or all images and add the same data? Or even better add it to the "Describe" page – than the creation is one step. Please implement the improvement fast and good – otherwise I will skip the metadata, sorry. --GodeNehler (talk) 08:00, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Aklapper, my issue with metadata at the upload wizard:

- I have uploaded a lot of images (e.g. 50)

- I have add a license

- I add Category and a description

- at the same page it would be useful to add at the same page the metadata.

- I have often images with similar content, so it would be useful to copy down the metadata like it is possible for the description

- Next step is to apply the images with data at the upload wizard

- Now the page with metadata appears

- I can add metadata for the first file - works fine, also for the second one

- Problem for me: now the page is jumping back to the top and I have to scroll down again to the image, where I am working on. This is annoying. It seams to be that the page should load a preview of each image, which is not working well in my case. If the preview image is loaded, the page seams to work much better, but in my case preview is only loaded in 10% of the cases. I am using MacBook Pro from 2018 with chrome browser.

- For all following images, where I am working on at that page, I have to scroll down, which is really time consuming - and at the end I didn't add the metadata.

- It would be really a benefit, if the page would not always jumping back to the top.

@GodeNehler: Alright, but see mw:How to report a bug how to file a feature request. --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 11:51, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Now I got it: I created the report T225358 – Thank you --GodeNehler (talk) 15:36, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Getting a "error" when uploading

Before, when I use the Upload Wizard, it usually upload all in that order. But some just stalls there but the uploading order continues on and eventually the file that were stuck failed to upload with the word "error". --Vauxford (talk) 23:24, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Also tried using alternative methods such as using the Commonist Java program and it still gets the same problem so it obviously something wrong on the behalf of how things are uploaded on here. --Vauxford (talk) 07:06, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
