Just a thought to consider... UploadWizard was specifically designed for Wikimedia Foundation projects, so it’s a lot more difficult to customize for personal or private enterprise use than most extensions. My advice would be to simply modify the default Special:Upload page which can done with standard MW code, although I’m not sure exactly what that code would be. You are, of course, welcome to pursue modification of UploadWizard, but just be aware that there is a slightly simpler alternative. — Amanda

Greetings everybody,
I am the administrator of a private mediawiki installation for my neighborhood - about 170 inhabitants.
Apparently one of the limits to adoption of the wiki is the cumbersome file upload process. I have installed Upload Wizard and customized the licensing options available to have the bare minimum but the multi-step process is still criticized. Just being forced by the UI to add a description to each file is apparently is too much.
I therefore have to write our very own, supersimplified upload page.
I'll obviously have to learn how to write Extensions and then I'll be able to have a look at the code of the Upload Wizard for inspiration. Are there any additional source of information on this topic that you'd recommend?
Kind regards,
