On Wikimedia wikis, local uploading should be disabled if there are no licenses set on MediaWiki:Licenses. The need for this is because some or many small WMF wikis still do not have license options, which is really needed for our copyright requirements. https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Licensing_policy This will be done in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/136520/ After this change, simply putting any content on MediaWiki:Licenses will enable uploading again. I developed a tool at https://tools.wmflabs.org/robin/?tool=uploadconfig which provides information about the status of each wiki.
Change 136520 had a related patch set uploaded by SPQRobin: (bug 66960) Require MediaWiki:Licenses to enable uploads (WMF) https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/136520
Change 136520 merged by jenkins-bot: (bug 66960) Require MediaWiki:Licenses to enable uploads (WMF) https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/136520
This will be become live on all Wikipedias today (with 1.24wmf11).
