Needs the "other versions" field (I've been doing a lot of cropped versions of shots already on Commons), possibly automatically doing the right thing with the filename of existing Commons files - turning all of Example.jpg or Image:Example.jpg or [[Image:Example.jpg]] into [[:Image:Example.jpg]]. And leaving anything else (http:// links) alone. (What's JavaScript's regular expression performance like?)
No idea. Best to leave comments like this at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:UploadForm.js.
Suggestion: a properly internationalised version of http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Add_Article_to_Category that sends the user to an upload form with the category in place - I put it on the work intranet with vast success, but it's not properly internationalised and (obviously) would need to go to Special:Upload rather than creating an article with the cat preloaded.
Hm, that strikes me as backward. You normally want to add categories (note, multiple) to a file rather than a file to a category, don't you? After all if you start from the category, you have to find the damned thing first. At least you *know* you have the file. :)
