Is this really necessary? I found two users who could benefit from it* On Special:Block, in oneunder 'Actions to block' add a checkbox for `Uploading files`
day of casually reading the recentchanges.
--------------------------** If the 'Editing' checkbox is checked and the 'Sitewide' radio button is selected, the 'Uploading files' checkbox should be checked and marked as disabled. (This is the default state of Special:Block)
**Version**: unspecified If the 'Editing' checkboxes is unchecked or the 'Partial' radio button is selected, the 'Uploading files' checkbox should be be enabled but marked as checked by default.
**Severity**: enhancement If a user has unchecked 'Editing' or selected 'Partial' but later re-checks 'Sitewide' the 'Uploading files' checkbox should become checked and marked as disabled.
**See Also**: When a block is saved with the 'Uploading files' checkbox selected, the target user should not be able to upload files via API, via any tool in any editor, or via any Special page.
** Error messages should display appropriately
{T9997}* When a Partial block is saved with the 'Uploading files' checkbox selected, the log items should indicate uploading files is part of the block.
