If you visit Special:Uploads on desktop the uploads count is for commons but the list is for the local wiki. We should closely couple the config for these and also make the desktop version pull photos from commons.

I know this is offtopic, but making a page named special:uploads which is different from special:upload (but with almost the same name) seems like a rather bad idea, and is going to cause a lot of confusion
Yes Brian this is definitely something we need to consider. As far as I know there is no equivalent of Special:Uploads in desktop. The Upload page allows a user to upload a photo the uploads page does this but also shows recent uploads.
Ideally we should find a way to merge these two things. Can you open a bug or a wikitech discussion?
This bug is now fixed so resolving...
