Upload wizard

Hi Erik,

I noticed that you didn't use the upload wizard when uploading some files recently. Any specific reason for that, or was it by accident? Using the wizard ensures all the fields (description, categories, license) are complete, which your recent files now lack (e.g., File:Pc7mkx.jpg).

Thanks!

It's because the wiki user interface is really counter intuitive. At times I really hate it.

I'm still not sure this is the correct way tot respond.

Hi Erik,

If you write "I really hate it", does that refer to the new upload wizard, or the wiki in general?

I was only wondering how you reached the "old" legcacy upload form, as the new UploadWizard is meant to make the upload process easier (and possibly a bit slower, but that's because it forces you to fill in some essential details that were often missing). I see you've managed to find it for your latest uploads, but it'd still help if you could tell me what exact steps you used to upload files through the old form. I'd like to move people away from the legacy form and thought I had moved all links to the new form, but apparently not.

Talk pages are indeed a bit of a hassle on wikis, but you did the correct thing to respond to this message! Note that you can "sign" your messages on talk pages with your name and the data/time, by typing four tildes (~~~~).

This is a civil and sincere response to criticism. Bravo! Gordon (talk) 19:10, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Erik, how is it different from other wikis? Gordon (talk) 19:10, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
