Enable $wgAllowCopyUploads and allow autoconfirmed user to upload the image by URL for pa.wikipedia. The config will be like testwiki have. (As described below)
$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['upload_by_url'] = true; $wgAllowCopyUploads = true; $wgCopyUploadsDomains = [ 'upload.wikimedia.org' ];

I don't think this can be done now. See T44473: Allow upload-by-URL from upload.wikimedia.org, T142991: Enable "upload by url" feature at zhwiki and T196732: Add upload_by_url to editor (arwiki) among others. Suggest 'stalled' for now.
There are non-free media like films poster on enwiki. which we can't upload on commons. As a Wikipedian when we need non-free media on our language wiki. we download the image from enwiki and then upload on our wiki. also we can't import file by Special:Import. this will take time and energy of wikipedians. I have created ImageImporter.js script for Wikipedians in a response of Tool_for_transferring_non_free_fair_use_media. So we need this config.
Maybe Extension:FileImporter could be enabled on pawiki as a solution? WMDE-TechWish input required for that maybe.
I don't think so. I have tested my script on testwiki. It is working fine. and importing the image as well. I will use the same config for pawiki as testwiki have. According to T196732#4409352 only ops would prefer for that to make the storage backend more intelligent. But one of mention task is from 2012. which mean ops is not working on that. And also storage should not be a problem. because of all wiki upload/will upload non-free media as it can't be upload on commons. This config will only make the process easier for Wikipedians.
I have contacted them on #wikimedia-de-tech IRC last month. I talked with @Addshore. He is saying that Extension:FileImporter/Exporter is not ready for importing media Wikipedia to Wikipedia. He also mentions one task. But they are not actively working. And I am unsure that Extension:FileImporter/Exporter is providing smart storage system.

495446 was scheduled for EU SWAT today, but I didn't deploy it since there is some opposition to it here. Please reach consensus.
@Reedy @MarcoAurelio Sir, Please express your concern with guidance. I already answered why it needs and also it is working fine for testwiki which uses the same cluster as pawiki uses.
