Thread:Project:Support desk/How can I disable "Upload a new version of this file"/reply

>Since Mediawiki's programmer are not going to fix it.

We especially don't fix issues we're not told about (With that said, I'm aware there are some usability concerns with that feature, but nonetheless, not telling us where we went wrong doesn't get stuff fixed).

>I just want to know how can I disable this faulty function.

Remove the 'reupload' and 'reupload-own' right from all users. Put the following at the bottom of LocalSettings.php: $wgGroupPermissions['user']['reupload']        = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['reupload-own']    = false; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['reupload']       = false;

If you only want to disable for your poor users, but let your sysops fend for themselves, then don't include the last line.
