Feedback gathered on Wikimedia Commons' IRC channel: this request is a local matter, and the zh. community can legitimately ask to turn off this feature.

FYI: T120867: Large amounts of unwanted files (mostly copyvios) uploaded via cross-wiki upload tool (A/B test of different upload interfaces) is the related task regarding excessive copyvios from cross-wiki uploads

By "disable", do you mean that the feature should be disabled entirely ($wgForeignUploadTargets = []), or that the files should be uploaded locally to zh.wp instead of Commons? ($wgForeignUploadTargets = [ 'local' ])?

[ 'local' ]

It means only uploading to zh.wp. It does n't allow upload from zh.wp to common with cross-wiki upload.

I think $wgForeignUploadTargets = [] is a better selection, for locally upload may cause the abuse of fair use. Anyway, this should be discussed in village pump first.
