  It is difficult to implement this, as the developers have told me. 
  
  I do think that if we want to develop this free stuff concept, our  software needs to be more user friendly. Wikipedia is getting big, but  it is still too complicated for ordinary people to do things that  should be simple, such as uploading files. 
  
  The upload form which requires the user to copy and paste a template is  not something I'd expect every user to understand (for example my  grandparents, but maybe not my parents either). And the current  language translation of template is hardly optimal. 
  
  Fredrik.
