The most noticeable change for users is that you can now insert images and other media items from the local wiki and Commons

Wonderful! A couple of questions:
- Is the Commons gallery sorted by latest first or is it alphabetical?

The gallery has the same sort as the normal search results (e.g. for "fish" on Commons), which is I think by "relevancy", but I don't know how our search system works exactly, sorry.

We're happy to build more features to improve the media insertion tool -

* should we show more "meta-data"?

* is changing what you're searching for obvious?

* is it clear enough which one is selected?

* and searching tool specifically - should you be able to filter by media type? language? length/resolution/format? licence? local vs. Commons? etc.

… but many of these will need to wait until the planned replacement of our search system with Solr to do this usefully.

- Would it be possible to add a button "upload more" in the gallery window that would open the UploadWizard in a new tab passing as parameter the current category?

We definitely want to build an upload-media button (and support drag-and-drop uploads too, possibly), but we don't have particular designs on how that should work. We're aware that before switching it on we should make sure that the Commons community are ready for potentially a lot more media items coming in.

Thanks for this amazing update!

Of course; we're happy you like it. :-)

Yours,
