Why not just edit stuff in the [[mediawiki:*]] namespace to make the

It is difficult to implement this, as the developers have told me.

I do think that if we want to develop this free stuff concept, our software needs to be more user friendly. Wikipedia is getting big, but it is still too complicated for ordinary people to do things that should be simple, such as uploading files.

The upload form which requires the user to copy and paste a template is not something I'd expect every user to understand (for example my grandparents, but maybe not my parents either). And the current language translation of template is hardly optimal.
