Hi Multimedia enthusiasts, Commonists, and Wikitechers,
The Multimedia team has been hard at work building a new extension for
editing images on-wiki, and we believe we now have a workable demo
running on Labs! You can find it on our Multimedia Alpha Wiki[0], where
there are also instructions for testing.
Note that we have a list of known bugs and failings on that wiki, and we
are working on getting those fixed before we push the extension into any
kind of deployment - our next steps will likely be to put it on
test2wiki, then to push a BetaFeature to Commons if all goes well. We
will keep you updated with the status of the project as we progress.
If you find more bugs, or have concerns about this extension, you can
share them on the Village Pump[1]. You can also file a Phabricator task
against ImageTweaks[2] if you prefer to be in more direct contact with
the team about a technical issue.
Thanks for helping us test new stuff, and I look forward to getting this
great tool out to you soon!
