Upload Wizard: Remember uploader name
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

It would be great if the Upload Wizard could remember the name of the uploader:

I have to replace my username with my real name, every time I upload. Not a huge hassle, but a small quality of life improvement. Something simple like storing the name in a cookie would do.

It could just be a user preference. We already let you select the default license there.

T40026 sounds to me like expanded version of this task.

Change 334877 merged by jenkins-bot:

Will this be fully in production and working from wmf.10?
