[WikiEN-l] Commons direct upload link?

[David Gerard]

Here's an idea: a direct "Upload to Commons" link in the sidebar. Good
idea? Awful idea? Please don't say "wait till SUL" ...

Hi Nino,
on the Italian Wikipedia left side bar there are two buttons: "Carica un
file" and "Carica su Commons". The first one uploads the file on the
Italian Wikipedia, the second one on Commons. So, if you click on that
one, provided that you're logged on Commons, just follow the
instructions and uploading should be straightforward.

Basically:
from the Italian Wikipedia: click on "Carica su Commons"
the page http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload/it opens
I think "È interamente opera mia"
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=itownwork>
applies - therefore click on that link (or another one if more appropriate)
Fill in the tempalte in the "Dettagli del file" box, select a license,
same as in other projects more or less
That should be it.

The template {{NowCommons}} on it.wikipedia is used to tell an
administrator that the same image is available on commons, but won't put
that image on commons alone.

BTW - I suppose you're Italian, we can continue the discussion in
Italian if you want (maybe off-list?)

Marco
