Cannot upload from mobile

When I click on the non-free upload button, I am redirected back to this page and never offered the upload form. Same result on Chrome. Android Firefox and Android Chrome, Samsung Galaxy S22 5G. Pingnova (talk) 01:32, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I'm experiencing the same thing. Presumably there is some recent change that is causing this. Anyone able to pinpoint? {{u|Sdkb}} talk 03:08, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
​It seems like the Please explain what exact purpose this file will serve in the article. box was broken at some point. I don't see any recent edits to the js or css. The only recent edit is by Izno Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:21, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This was fixed for awhile but I'm having the same issue again. @Matma Rex or @Izno could this be from the recent change? Pingnova (talk) 19:44, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Seems extremely unlikely. If my change broke something, it would be problems with the actual upload, rather than the form not loading. As a wild guess, maybe this is the same problem as Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Editor stopped working? Matma Rex talk 22:24, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I checked my settings per the link you shared, doesn't seem to be the issue. I switched from en.m. to desktop, just en., and I could use the form finally. It must be an issue with the mobile web version. Pingnova (talk) 19:24, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
me too. i thought it was my problem. anyway then how people upload non free pics still now? Arismauve (talk) 10:08, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The solution that works for me is switching to the desktop version. The non-free upload form worked on "desktop version" from my smartphone browser. Click "upload a non-free file" at the URL http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:File_upload_wizard. Not en.m.wiki.x.io, just en.wiki.x.io. Pingnova (talk) 23:48, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
this happened to me too, recently on 26 April 2024, when I clicked the "upload a non-free image" button, the button doesn't work, please fix this issue SleepingJoe (talk) 03:22, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
it is now September 2024 and those lazy bath studs STILL have not fixed it! BadMombo1660 (talk) 22:45, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence: The license agreement will be forwarded to OTRS shortly.

See for example: http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=File:Nigam_Shah.jpg&action=history

The upload wizard appears to include the text "'''Evidence:''' The license agreement will be forwarded to OTRS shortly. {{OTRS pending|year=2024|month=09|day=26}}" while the only relevant part is the template at the end and the rest is unneeded stuff which is a pain to read and to remove for VRT users who process these tickets. Can we reduce this to the template only? --Krd 14:45, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Text in "please explain why this purpose could not be served by text alone" section doesn't copy to file page

When uploading "some other kind of non-free work", there's a required box that asks you to "please explain why this purpose could not be served by text alone." Whatever you enter there is seemingly discarded as soon as you hit the upload button. Unless there's something I'm missing, this box should either be removed or fixed. – MW(t•c) 22:22, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
