  • To see how the description of the file will look after the upload, click the "Preview" button. This will not upload the image yet.
  • You do not need to add an {{Information}} template; the form will construct one for you.
  • If you already have an {{Information}} template or similar template ready to copy/paste, use the basic upload form. To always use the old basic form layout uncheck "ImprovedUploadForm" on the "Gadgets" tab of your preferences.
