[WikiEN-l] Fwd: Please test multi-file selection

[Erik Moeller]

Hi folks,

we'd appreciate additional testers for the new multi-file selection
feature of UploadWizard. Please see link below for more details.

This affects every Wikipedian who uploads freely licensed media files,
so I thought I'd post it here as well :)

Cheers,
Erik

Multi-file selection, perhaps the single most requested feature for
UploadWizard, is now ready for testing on a staging wiki. Please see
Neil's announcement here:

I'm really excited about this, as it's the first step to making large
uploads a lot more manageable without the use of third party tools
like Commonist.

Other improvements in the next release that you can test now will
include a better licensing workflow, including support for custom
wikitext licenses, and automatic extraction of file-embedded
geographic coordinates and display of those coordinates using a
template.
