One thing that puzzles me in that ticket is this
phrase from Mark
Traceur: "It might be better to look at something (slightly) more
modern, like the upload dialog in core". Does anyone know what that
dialog is? AFAIK the uploader in core (Special:Upload) hasn't changed
in decades, except maybe for the look of the buttons. Its usability is
rubbish compared to UW. Wikis used to (no, actually they still do)
customize it using the uselang param,which messes with the user's
settings. I can't really understand how that would be better...
I guess it means this:
https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/js/#!/api/mw.Upload.Dialog
Which I think is only used in the WikiEditor extension. Maybe the dialog
is in core because there was a plan to move WikiEditor into core?
