There already is an autocompleting box for categories in the Upload Wizard

I don't think an upload button on all the category page is needed and it may clutter the page. Moreover, files usually (should) get several categories, not just one. A better approach to simplify addition of coordinates and categories could be to

• Show suggested categories in the Upload Wizard based on for example the file title and description and other categories set by the user
• Simplify and facilitate the addition of coordinates – for example by prompting the user to select the precise location on a map if a category about location was added to the file.

Actually there already is an upload button in a large fraction of categories: the "Upload media" link in the Wikidata infobox. However, not all categories have the Wikidata infobox. Prototyperspective (talk) 23:34, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

Userscript

I somewhere found userscript for this case.

if (mw.config.get('wgNamespaceNumber') === 14) {
	$(function () {
		// upload in cat
		mw.util.addPortletLink('p-cactions', '//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UploadWizard&categories=' + encodeURIComponent(mw.config.get('wgTitle')), 'Upload to this category', 'UW');
		$("#contentSub").prepend(
			'<a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UploadWizard&amp;categories=' + encodeURIComponent(mw.config.get('wgTitle')) +
			'" title="Upload to this category">' +
			'<img alt="Upload to this category" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/42/Camera-photo_Upload.svg/30px-Camera-photo_Upload.svg.png"' +
			' style="vertical-align:sub" height="30" width="30">' +
			'</a>');
	});
}
