There is a bunch of text messages in Extension:UploadWizard that deal with putting uploaded files into Categories of the wiki. They are worded in a way as if categories were added to files. This wording is wrong and bewildering, since files actually are being put into categories - while category links, or category references are being insterted into the description pages of files. It is impractical to translate "put a categoy into a file" since that may incorrectly suggest the file's data was being altered, and putting a category into its content was as strange as "pouring a jar into lemonade." Besides that, the current wording appears extremely misguiding to me. Users should be educated to understand how putting stuff into categories technically works. Once they start editing description pages, they will have to understand and know it.
Trying http://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard : In the "Describe" steps, clicking "Add categories and more information ..." to get the "Add categories" dropdown, the small question mark button says "Add your file to categories so as to make it easier to find." Purodha: Please provide steps where to find the exact strings that you would like to see improved, and please provide the actual current wording (exact quote) here.
Closing this as I don't see any wrong message, reopen with some evidence.
