Workaround:

Save file(s) in Browse.
Go to Journal.
No previews (Ticket #1106), so open and quit each image to create them.
Looking at each preview, edit Title, Description, Tags.

There is no agreed scheme for naming files on the Web or for alt-text
contents, so there is no automatic way to generate a meaningful name
for a download. It might be possible to find a solution for just
Wikipedia. For example,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_USA_CA.svg
