I recently noticed what a pain it can be to move image to commons, especially with the image description. To help this issue, I now offer this service:
Neat! Here's a couple bugs.
If the image upload summary has interwiki links, the links break. For example, (taking an image from EN):
here's a summary with [[link]] and [[de:interwiki link]]. How about [[commons:link]]?
turns into
here's a summary with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link Link] (link) and [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/interwiki_link" class='extiw' title="de:interwiki_link] (de:interwiki link) . How about [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/link" class='extiw' title="commons:link] (commons:link) ?
Also, it would be nice of the helper deduced wiki-syntax for links in the upload summaries, instead of making everything be external links. For example, [[link]] should turn into [[:en:link]], not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link Link].
Another minor bug, interwiki links in image descriptions aren't quite right. In terms of link syntax, the Commons thinks of itself as an English Wikipedia (in otherwords, [[q:Foo]] links to English Wikiquote, while [[:de:Foo]] links to German Wikipedia). The script needs to know this quirky fact. Again from EN, the image description
[[Foo]] and [[:de:Bar]]. [[:Image:Bob]].
turns into
[[:en:Foo]] and [[:en::de:Bar]]. [[:en::Image:Bob]].
when it should be
[[:en:Foo]] and [[:de:Bar]]. [[:en:Image:Bob]].
(Notice the double :: in two places, too.)
