Is there any reason the "upload files" page doesn't say explicitly
"You may upload files here for the sole purpose of using them in the Wikipedia, an open content online encyclopedia. Uploading files for any other purpose is not permitted. The files will be deleted, and persistent abusers of this facility will have their IP banned."
or something to that effect? If you go straight to the page, there's nothing to explicitly say "This is only for the Wikipedia".
I already agree with you. The page is *still* 2nd on Google search for "upload files". The page should: *be explicitly banned in both robots.txt and <meta robots> *include the above warning *if there is no user login cookie, show no form but direct the user to the account creation page *if the user has not reached trusted hand status, show no form.
Please do this at once.
