I don't want to force (or even suggest for) everyone to go through the quiz every single time they want to upload. I want to force all new users [or all users... I don't really care] to go through the quiz once before they start (or continue) uploading. Is it possible to do this without modifying MediaWiki?
Well, you could use a large amount of JavaScript (which would of course only stop those with JS enabled) . . . other than that, not that I can think of.
I have no (real) idea of the MW code, so it's maybe just a stupid idea, but: Couldn't a user flag/group "quizpassed" be created (similar to "bot" or "sysop") , which is automatically assigned to your user account when you have once passed the quiz. Afterwards, when uploading, MediaWiki would determine, whether you have this flag set on your account or not (as it does for restricted pages as Special:Blockip) and will thus determine, whether you have to do the quiz or not. As said, no idea whether this is technically doable & reasonable in terms of performance etc.
