Another thing that always confused me about the mediawiki upload process is that you're prompted to enter a description and then the "success" page's "blobby paragraph" includes an example that contains your filename, but not your description. That seems like an easy fix! Should I file a bug?
No, that doesn't make a lot of sense. You'd see stuff like this:
[[Image:SumatraMap.jpg|Map of [[Sumatra]], version as of 2005-04-11. Taken from http://foo.bar.baz/maps/asia/, marked as public domain. {{Public domain image}}
I modified the legend to make it more legible and remove the scanning errors, and did a threshold to reduce the number of colors for better compression.

The description is for the description page. It's *not* generally suitable for inline alternate text rendering for browsers that can't display images (which will always be context-dependent).
