Are these questions listed on some UploadWizard wikipage/section?
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload_Wizard_feedback says
"To resolve issues, it helps us to have exact steps to reproduce" so
I'd love that sentence to link to such "basic" debugging questions.
I don't know if there's a "common questions" link anywhere. I could
write
it. I guess I just did.
I honestly don't think that page is very useful, it gets a lot of noise and
not much signal, which is why I don't usually look at it. We could change
the config to point at Phabricator, maybe?
Does also asking users to add "?debug=true"
to the URL and to try again
make sense in the context of debugging UploadWizard issues, or not?
It usually does, if only to get meaningful error messages and line numbers
for a bug report.
