The second is recent. It is to allow (that is, to whitelist) the direct upload from url function for a particular domain. Direct uploads are done with the Wikimedia Commons old form, and the domain to be whitelisted is https://tothemoon.ser.asu.edu . This website carries an extensive archive of Apollo era .tif files which are not webhosted by NASA, but came from NASA and are in the public domain. The .tif files tend to be large, around a gigabyte, so a direct upload to url would be nice. There is some discussion of it on the Commons Village Pump.
