Details

By default, upload by URL, when enabled via $wgAllowCopyUploads , is only possible using the API (or extensions such as UploadWizard). To make the option usable from Special:Upload, you can set this variable to true.

In order to make use of this option, users also need to have the option $wgAllowCopyUploads set to true and the associated user right upload_by_url.

Example usage

This example setup will allow all autoconfirmed users to upload by URL, via Special:Upload or the API. Add to the bottom of your LocalSettings.php :

$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['upload_by_url'] = true;
$wgAllowCopyUploads = true;
$wgCopyUploadsFromSpecialUpload = true;
