One thing that puzzles me in that ticket is this phrase from Mark Traceur: "It might be better to look at something (slightly) more modern, like the upload dialog in core". Does anyone know what that dialog is? AFAIK the uploader in core (Special:Upload) hasn't changed in decades, except maybe for the look of the buttons. Its usability is rubbish compared to UW. Wikis used to (no, actually they still do) customize it using the uselang param,which messes with the user's settings. I can't really understand how that would be better...
The upload dialog is this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Upload_dialog
It's accessible from both the visual and wikitext editors (unless you disabled the toolbar), though their dialogs to insert image thumbnails.
