Cannot upload from mobile
When I click on the non-free upload button, I am redirected back to this page and never offered the upload form. Same result on Chrome. Android Firefox and Android Chrome, Samsung Galaxy S22 5G. Pingnova (talk) 01:32, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

- This was fixed for awhile but I'm having the same issue again. @Matma Rex or @Izno could this be from the recent change? Pingnova (talk) 19:44, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
- Seems extremely unlikely. If my change broke something, it would be problems with the actual upload, rather than the form not loading. As a wild guess, maybe this is the same problem as Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Editor stopped working? Matma Rex talk 22:24, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
- I checked my settings per the link you shared, doesn't seem to be the issue. I switched from en.m. to desktop, just en., and I could use the form finally. It must be an issue with the mobile web version. Pingnova (talk) 19:24, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

What is the name of the page with the licensing templates used for this tool?
I believe this tool is transcluding some redirects to licensing templates instead of the direct title of the template, and I would like to see what may need to be changed. However, I'm not a "MediaWiki:" / ".js" sleuth, so I was wondering ... can someone point me with a link of the page which may contain a list of licensing templates this tool transcludes (via options) when uploading a file?

- Never mind ... found it. Edit request coming soon ... Steel1943 (talk) 21:35, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Edit request for MediaWiki:FileUploadWizard.js
This edit request to MediaWiki:FileUploadWizard.js has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
I recently discovered that the File Upload Wizard, specifically "MediaWiki:FileUploadWizard.js", is set up in a way where it is creating "File:" namespace pages that are unintentionally transcluding template-namespace redirects for some licensing templates, rather than transcluding the licensing template directly. Most of these issues are due to page moves, and ... From what I found, 11 lines in this page need to be updated to reflect current names.
The changes can be found as a draft in my namespace: User:Steel1943/FileUploadWizard.js, with this differences shown here. This can be literally copy/pasted over MediaWiki:FileUploadWizard.js to make the updates. Line by line, the changes are the following:
