Have 'i' buttons next to various upload fields to describe what it does

[misaochan]

Similar to what the Upload Wizard does, I think doing this might make it easier for new contributors to learn? For instance the 'i' button next to the Title field says "A unique descriptive title for the file, which will serve as a filename. You may use plain language with spaces. Do not include the file extension.", which could help clear up the title vs filename confusion.

I'm looking into this.

Note: the (I) on the right side of the Title field. When the (I) is clicked a message shows at the bottom part for a short period and then fades away.

The text can also be centered.

What message should follow the "Description" field?

[nicolas-raoul]

How about something like this? : Please describe the media as much as possible: Where was it taken? What does it show? What is the context? Please describe the objects or persons. Reveal information that can not be easily guessed, for instance the time of day if it is a landscape. If the media shows something unusual, please explain what makes it unusual.

The official doc at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:First_steps/Quality_and_description#Good_file_descriptions does not contain much. On Thu, Jul 27, 2017 at 7:16 PM, Nicolas Raoul <nicolas.raoul@gmail.com> wrote:

Title Information

Description Information

[nicolas-raoul]

The text you have chosen is mostly for people who upload scientific images, which are very unlikely to be taken with a smartphone. On the opposite, people with smartphones are much more likely to take pictures of live events and points of interest.

(Flyby PM advice: Just get something in as a starting point, then create another issue to tweak the text - probably different people that are good at getting the text right than coding the feature.)

I've made the changes to the text according to text @nicolas-raoul posted above.
