While uploading a file through Upload Wizard, why can I only license it under CC0, CC BY 4.0, and CC BY-SA 4.0? I even tried modifying the default license on Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-uploads, but nothing happened.

Also, is caption now mandatory? Why? Has the community been consulted in that regard?

Can I change the way Upload Wizard works for me? I know what I'm doing when uploading something through it. The new version just makes it a pain in the neck—more than it already was. RodRabelo7 (talk) 05:13, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @RodRabelo7, you can add another license by providing the correct template in the "other license" step. As for captions, we're going to make them not mandatory if you disallow the option "same as description". Sannita (WMF) (talk) 12:40, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

And while we're griping about unwanted changes, why does the wizard blank out everything when the Upload more files button is clicked? Older versions used to remember everything that was previously entered (which made life a whole lot easier). Useddenim (talk) 15:57, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

@Useddenim This bug too is known and is being worked on. I apologise on behalf of the team for all the disruption happened with the last update. Sannita (WMF) (talk) 10:47, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
