'mwe-upwiz-subhead-alt-upload'

That message contains a link, but the link *target* is provided as a parameter to it. Comes from somewhere else?

Seems to come from 'altUploadForm' in the UploadWizard config.

Reedy, are you recommending that all languages which have an alternate classic form just modify the mwe-upwiz-subhead-alt-upload message to ignore this configuration variable? Or is there another way to make that setting go to whatever is appropriate?

I hope you did not only change it for German, did you? :-O

Okay, I make it more clear what to do - I thought it was clear that it is not only German. :-)

Please just link to for every language. Any changes for some languages can be made on that page if required.
'//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Upload/autolang&uselang=' + mw.config.get( 'wgUserLanguage' );

Thank you!

Btw: that page defaults to English if a language specific page is not available.

I did not change it only for German, I made it so you could configure any number of pages.

array(

'default'	=> 'Commons:Upload',
'de'		=> 'Commons:Hochladen',
'fr'          => 'The extra special upload page for french people'
...

);

But, that would be a site config change. Your autolang concept is more under control of the admins of the site, at the cost of an ugly title.

So, I could just revert the changes to the code and then put Commons:Upload/autolang as the the 'single' alternative upload form.

However, why are you suggesting that there be a uselang parameter? Isn't that already implicit?

You know that I would like to have as much as possible (best: all) of UW under control of the wiki. :-) Of course I do not like a config file solution which is really hard to maintain if UW doesn't pull the list of available language sub pages from the wiki.

Agree, "/autolang" is a but ugly.. right. Maybe "/autotranslated" or just "/auto" would be nicer - should I move?
I also had the idea of moving it to [[:commons:Commons:Upload]] and move the English page to /en (where is would usually belong in case of language subpages) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Upload#Commons:Upload.2Fautolang The downside is that usually there was the English page and many many link will go there - so a change is not very likely.

I had a short discussion in IRC now: lets leave it at this page name for now. If it should be moved the link form UW would continue to work (redir) and can be changed if needed.
So please link to the link as mentioned in comment 7. Thanks!

Explanation of the uselang suggestion: If the UW was called with URL param uselang and you do not add it to the new link the language chosen by uselang will be lost. E.g. Commons:Upload/de is linked from some Wikipedia "how to upload images" (newbie oriented) pages. Commons:Upload/de features a link to UW with uselang=de. Sadly not all users set their language preference in their user preferences.

edit: s/but/bit

Since this problem appears to have been solved two ways, i.e., Saibo's autolang feature combined with a configuration change and the new array feature in the configuration file, I'm going to call this one "resolved".

Did you test it? Not fixed.

Once again, this is now a _configuration_ issue. Recategorizing. Can someone please make the relevant change outlined above in the Commons configuration?

What's the configuration variable?
In that patch, the config was changed in UploadWizard.config.php, not in WMF's InitialiseSettings.php.

The patch above added handling for a config variable and an *example* in the default configuration file. If you look at the top of UploadWizard.config.php, it cautions you not to modify that file, but instead to use the LocalSettings.php file (or whatever you'd like to use in lieu of that), adding lines of the form

$wgUploadWizardConfig['name'] = 'value';

Thanks. I'm not very familiar with UW config and I guess many patch author candidates aren't either, so this helps.

Please note—this is /not/ the required config change :)

54 languages on Commons currently have their own localised version of [[:commons:Commons:Upload]].

Adding a definition for each of them to a config file is not scalable, wrong, and just crazy.

A potential fix?

If I'm not awfully mistaken, this is how a potential patch fixing this could look like.
