Create MediaWiki:Upload-description which will pre-fill the wpUploadDescription <textarea> in Special:Upload.
That would probably be very annoying as a general case, as it would badly spam re-uploads.
I didn't emphasize it's meant for first upload not for re-uploads.
Closed WONTFIX per comment 1.
Since commons is using javascript to fill it, prefilling the description for first upload is a valid use case. Commons may not benefit from it due to language issues, but other wikis would be able to.
What would the default text be? Nothing?
I suppose so. MediaWiki:upload-default-description ?
Change 78468 had a related patch set uploaded by Brian Wolff: Add optional message to define default description for Upload https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/78468
It will now be possible to edit [[MediaWiki:Upload-default-description]] to set the default text after Brian's patch gets deployed. Closing as fixed.
