+>>>> More explicit or less, I don't know.. :-) It seems to make sense for most of the use cases I've thought of to put the uploaded file there, but there might be use cases where it would go somewhere else, and so maybe the UI should allow specifying where it goes (similarly to how ikwiki allows specifying where to put a page when creating a new page).

+>>>> Exactly where the upload form should be I don't know. Putting it directly on the page seems somewhat strange, I know that some wikis have an actions menu that includes file upload and deletion, I think others make the Edit form include support for uploading files. Maybe survey other wikis and base it on a UI that works well.
