Does not seem to work in iOS or iOS app?

I clicked on the link in Safari, Chrome and in the Wikipedia app. Nothing happened Mplungjan (talk) 19:27, 24 October 2017 (UTC) Mplungjan (talk) 19:27, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

I am also "supposedly" using iOS also though I am confused on the process of how to use it l, perhaps I have no need for it...

That tells us you are frustrated but we need a few basic details to sort out a solution or work-around.

Are you using, an iphone, android, or a laptop with Linux, a laptop with Windows?

Which page are you coming from? What is it that you try to press?

Wikipedia does everything- but there are many paths through it. --ClemRutter (talk) 21:01, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Not working

Can someone please fix this. It doesn’t work anymore with the IOS11 update. I need to upload some images to Wikipedia, not Wikimedia. DatBoy101 (talk) 20:55, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Is someone even trying to fix this ‘because nothing’s happening DatBoy101 (talk) 03:20, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

I don't have access to IOS11, so I'm afraid I can't reproduce your problem. Uploading is still working normally on my machine here. Can anybody with IOS11 help? Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:54, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

I do, can't reproduce. @DatBoy101:, can you make sure that you have JavaScript enabled, are not running an ad blocker or other software that would interfere with JavaScript, have not changed any of Safari's Experimental Features settings, and that you are logged in to Wikipedia? --AntiCompositeNumber (Ring me) 17:15, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, it doesn't work!! PoularChess1243 (talk) 02:51, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Wikimedia Upload wizard not working on web or mobile

I've tried several times today to upload some photos using the wikimedia upload wizard.

I get as far as the "Release Rights" page, tick the "These files are my own work" radio button, but when I click the "Next" button, nothing happens (literally nothing, no processing, no error message)

I've tried half a dozen times over a 6 hour period (approx 5pm to 11pm GMT)

The "Next" button is definitely enabled as a button, because the cursor changes to a hand when I hover over it

I've tried it on my PC (Windows 7) with Chrome and with Internet Explorer 11

I've also tried it on my Pixel / Android phone with Chrome — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enchufla Con Clave (talk • contribs) 22:45, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

This sounds like you were using the Commons upload wizard, not this local one on the English Wikipedia, which is technically entirely different. You'd have to enquire at Commons about this problem. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:53, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Ok - Sorry - I didn't relise. I'm fairly new to this — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enchufla Con Clave (talk • contribs) 12:33, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Permission to the copyright owner

How can I grant permission to the copyright owner before I upload a copyrighted image? FourBowl5905100 (talk) 12:52, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

@FourBowl5905100:, I assume you mean how does the copyright holder grant permission for the use of their image? In which case please see WP:CONSENT and the instructions there. Nthep (talk) 17:11, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

No means of marking an image as a Microsoft Windows screenshot

It appears that there is no way of marking an article as a screenshot of Microsoft Windows. If there is, then it's unclear. – Batreeq ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 01:34, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

In the section "excerpt from a copyrighted work", the first dropdown box contains an entry "software screenshot", which will insert the template {{Non-free software screenshot}}. This should be appropriate for your use case. There is also a more specific {{Non-free Microsoft screenshot}}, which contains some additional information, but there isn't really any need to use it instead. In general, the script doesn't offer the full range of possible copyright tags; a fuller list can be found under WP:Image copyright tags. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:46, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

I want to add an image BP1771 (talk) 03:54, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Buggy, frustrating, lost all the information I entered into it

This tool seems to be very buggy. I spent time entering all of the information and submitted it, then the file upload didn't complete and all the information I entered was lost. This occurred multiple times. Finally I got the file upload to work, but without entering the complete information needed for the file submission. Please fix this! --Wykypydya (talk) 06:37, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
