Is it technically possible to include a blank

the image description page for new uploads? Or maybe redesign the upload
page to have several input fields corresponding to the template rather

MediaWiki?
Not sure. cc: to wikitech-l for opinions.
I don't think there's any way to do this without some code changes,
no. It would, however, probably be a good idea to make those code
changes, specifically the possibility for distinct input fields. I
suggest you (or someone) open a bug report.
It was mentioned in
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3712
("Use more appropriate software for the Commons (other than
MediaWiki)", a pretty wide-ranging bug).
A MW install I did for a group, 1.6.3, at Special:Upload has distinct
fields for "Copyright status" and "Source". These are distinct to
"summary" but are just write-in fields unlike the license selector.
(Did the
German UI review
cover Image: pages?)
Not as I recall.
I actually thought it did... can't remember where it is to re-read it
now though.
