Allow exploration of categories at upload time

Problem: Category selection via the upload wizard on Commons performs autocompletion, which is helpful, but doesn't allow for walking the category tree, so finding a more specific, more general, or sibling category involves either opening the category in another tab and navigating the tree there, or completing the upload wizard and then using HotCat to refine the categories afterwards.

Who would benefit: Anyone uploading and categorizing images to Commons.

Proposed solution: Integrate HotCat or something like it with the Commons upload wizard.

More comments: See also the corresponding wishlist item for the mobile Commons app.

Discussion

Good, clear description of the problem. I agree with the proposed solution. Downtowngal (talk) 23:49, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This would be a huge time-saver! Victorgrigas (talk) 03:04, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
HotCat is so much better at this; and has a better interface; surely its code could be reused/ shared? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:14, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Middle clicking opens a new tab, I think. --NaBUru38 (talk) 23:05, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I've used Upload Wizard for 1000+ images, never a problem. If it's not broke, don't fix it. G41rn8 (talk) 18:21, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support I miss this feature a lot - Actually I never add categories at upload time because of lack of usability of UW on this aspect - Darwin ^Ahoy! 16:56, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support The current system basically supports you exploring all categories before uploading, this would greatly improve that. Donald Trung (Talk 🤳🏻) (My global lock 🔒) (My global unlock 🔓) 10:55, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
