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: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Upload http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=en-ownwork
Wondering how relevant this still is in times of Commons mostly using UploadWizard (see e.g. bug 49443 for those issues).
