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?) Since it's using the client's CPU power, performance shouldn't be a problem - sanity-check for security, I expect. 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. - d.

Performance (for the servers) should not be an issue since all the JavaScript is executed on the client side (as long as it doesn't fire off hundreds of http requests in the background at least). I have been toying with a simmilar idea on the English Wikipedia though instead of adding some extra fields I was thinkling more along the lines of replacing the default form entierly and put a interactive multi step "wizard" in it's place (if you choose to upload a non-free image it would ask you to assert that no free replacement can be created and explain why, force you to add a rationale etc). Never got past the "that would be neat" thinking about it phase though. -- [[:en:User:Sherool]]
