Can the SimpleBatchUpload extension, please be evaluated for enabling?
We're wanting a multi-file uploade, the existing Miraheze MsUpload extension has problems for our use-case:
- Requires navigating to individual categories and pages, and editing them to upload images to relevant category.
- Provides no way to categorize images inserted on-page, resulting in uncategorized images, creating admin maintenance.
- Our templates pick up relevant images based on page name, insertion in-page is problematic and creates doubles.
- If done on pages/categories it bypasses upload notices such as MediaWiki:Uploadtext, with no way to add upload messages.
- If high-abuse category pages are locked, users can't upload to them, maintenance problem, making MsUpload impractical.
With SimpleBatchUpload, we can:
- Create upload pages for different image types.
- Have high-abuse categories locked without affecting uploads to it.
- Preload upload text.
- Create buttons or links for uploading specific things, with upload text set.
Our former multiupload.js doesn't work on newer version of Miraheze MW and are tired of figuring out how to fix/modernize it each MW update, we'd really appreciate a more flexible extension like SimpleBatchUpload. We already saw that UploadWizard was declined due to being to Wikimedia-centric, this extension seems maintained by another farm, to be stable, and not be in beta. Hopefully it is a good candidate.
Thanks in advance for looking into it!
