Allow &preload= and &editintro= parameters for templates on Special:Upload

Description

Author: webmaster

Description:
In the same way we allow preloading templates for editing articles, it would be a handy feature to allow preloading image templates in the summary field on Special:Upload.

These image templates could be tags {{GFDL}} or full blown templates which the user uploading the image could/should/would fill out with additional data on the image.

Might help the commons folks organize their collection, too. :)

Example URL:

http://en.marveldatabase.com/index.php?title=Special:Upload&preload=Template:Image_Template

Come to think of it, &editintro= might be a handy paramter, too. Possibly a better implementation that the current &uselang= method they have going:

Version: 1.13.x
Severity: enhancement

Wondering how relevant this still is in times of Commons mostly using UploadWizard (see e.g. bug 49443 for those issues).

i'm not using upload wizard, and until the feature enabled, not using special:upload either

You can pass wpUploadDescription parameter to the URL to prefill the upload description, and wpLicense to prefill the license.

Example: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Upload?wpUploadDescription=Summary&wpLicense=GFDL

There's nothing similar for editintro in Special:Upload, though.
