Basic upload form, is the original upload interface. It is still useful if uploading files that do not use {{Information}} template, like files that use {{Artwork}}, {{Photograph}}, {{Art photo}} or {{Book}} templates. For example if you want to upload file using {{Artwork}} and {{PD-old-100}} templates you can prefill
== {{int:filedesc}} == {{Artwork |wikidata = Q.... |source = ..... }} == {{int:license-header}} == {{PD-Art|PD-old-100}} [[Category:.......]]
and paste it into the window.
This ECMAScript can be integratit wi the importScript();
featur fer uplaids wi ae chosen chunk size. It avoids some Uplaid Stash oddities that ar no yet haunled bi the Uplaid Warlock.

It is an demonstrator and can write protocols, that - if sent to developers - can help developers identify problems of the MW upload process. It is available as an unpaid and a full paid version from a number of app shops.
Uplaid tae Commons wi iOS
Aen iOS app is available n aw at the AppStore. The soorce code is at GitHub unner the Apache License.
The similar Wiki Uploader is compatible with iOS 9 and newer, but has not been updated since 2019.
It does its job with some quirks:
Only images taken in the last couple of days can be uploaded and the app frequently freezes for about 30 seconds. Categories are suggested as soon as the first letters are typed but the bright yellow font color is very hard to read. Title and description fields are automatically filled with the location and date metadata if a single image is selected. This information has to be manually copied to proceed with several images. When several images are uploaded the author information is usually only added to the first one and has to be added manually to the others.
