Hi folks,

we'd appreciate additional testers for the new multi-file selection feature of UploadWizard. Please see link below for more details.

This affects every Wikipedian who uploads freely licensed media files, so I thought I'd post it here as well :)

Cheers, Erik

Multi-file selection, perhaps the single most requested feature for UploadWizard, is now ready for testing on a staging wiki. Please see Neil's announcement here:

I'm really excited about this, as it's the first step to making large uploads a lot more manageable without the use of third party tools like Commonist.

Other improvements in the next release that you can test now will include a better licensing workflow, including support for custom wikitext licenses, and automatic extraction of file-embedded geographic coordinates and display of those coordinates using a template. -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation
