This has been discussed at some length on this list before (ad infinitum, as I recall), and people might like to know it seems to have discreetly moved to the next stage: IFD. This is, what, round four?

They stopped being so useful after enwp increased the account requirements to be able to upload, which is why they haven't been placed in many articles lately. :(
Not to mention that by removing geni's sysop rights we reduced the ability of the original creator of this process to move it further.

I'll start placing them in articles again if at least a few others will do so as well. That's you for one, Greg. Anyone else?

Don't. As it current stand the system needs multiple changes before it is fully ready for use again. I don't feel like making them via remote control and in one case I need to get some info from the devs about how one of the changes will impact the servers (basically I want to put an if command into mediawiki:Sharedupload).
