[Mediawiki-l] How to remove copyright checkbox on Special:Upl oad ?

[Alistair Johnson]

Thanks Brion, Francis, NSK.

I've hacked SpecialUpload.php and changed:
<input tabindex='3' type='checkbox' name=\"wpUploadAffirm\" value=\"1\"
id=\"wpUploadAffirm\" />
to:
<input tabindex='3' type='hidden' name=\"wpUploadAffirm\" value=\"1\"
id=\"wpUploadAffirm\" />

This hides the checkbox nicely.  We'll just need to reapply this with future
updates ;-)

Regards,

al.

That will have no effect on the copyright check box on the upload page, 
it controls an unrelated option for generating XML metadata which 
describes your selected site copyright licensing option.

AFAIK there is no configuration option to turn the box off (but there 
is one to use an alternate system when you are asked for some specific 
information on source and licensing).
