Since you like it, I can write it back in. More proof that MediaWiki is as much designed by luck as by humans.
Thanks, Tim. :)
There are a lot of ways the upload process could be improved, and if a developer initiates such a discussion with the intent to improving it, I'll take part, but until then I'll just keep mum.
This user's comment about the change made me laugh:
I'm uploading on commons since a while; since today after uploading I get a message about /Successful upload/ - thats really nice to get this message but I would see it as well in the "tradtional" way; and even better as I have seen the image an the description immediately. Is this text trying to tell me that there are to many Images on commons and so to avoid more images the procedure is getting more difficult to anoy the uploaders? (already /Commons:Upload/ does it make more laborious; but I understand that it is needed for new users) Maybe its a feature and I just did not get the benefit? <<
