What is the "upload dialog" in zhwiki?

I'm afraid this is not doable by any existing configuration variable. Do you know about a wiki, that is configured as you want?

According to Upload dialog#Configuration (for wiki sysadmins), Manual:$wgForeignUploadTargets and discussion in T139257. I think setting $wgForeignUploadTargets = [] is what we want.

Change 470985 had a related patch set uploaded (by Urbanecm; owner: Urbanecm):

Urbanecm triaged this task as Low priority.

Still keeping under Analysis / under discussion, as I asked for reviews of my patch.
