Thank you Nick for your reply.
wpUploadDescription is not something I can override in LocalSettings.php... can I?
From what I understand that's a parameter I could pass in Special:Upload
through the URL. And it doesn't affect the file page resulting from the upload, it only affects Special:Upload itself, right?
I'm surprised there is no easy way to customize this via one of the bazillion Mediawiki:messages.
Thank you again though.
Kind regards,
Manu

Greetings,
I'd like to customize the pre-defined content of a file page.
Specifically,
one of my users has asked if it could have an "Example" section that can
be
used to list a number of cut&paste-ready lines, i.e.
[[Media:MyFile.ext|MyDescription]]
I thought perhaps this was part of one of the system messages within the MediaWiki namespace but I'm struggling to find which one.
Alternatively I could try and use the Boilerplate extension perhaps?
Thoughts?
Kind regards, Manu
(I'm not sure, but...) The pre-filled content[1] seems to come from wpUploadDescription (found via examining page-source) which is mentioned at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Parameters_to_ Special:Upload Does that help?
