[RESOLVED] Enable Anonymous File Upload (v. 1.24.1)

I'm working on a script to convert our old wiki to WikiMedia and it would be really handy to enable anonymous file uploads for it. Is it possible to enable anonymous file uploads? I've found examples of how to restrict logged in users to upload files to only certain groups, but nothing to enable them.

Set

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['upload'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['reupload'] = true;

in LocalSettings.php. If your wiki is publicly available, this will enable spammers to not only write about their junk, but to also upload photos of it. Just as a thought...

Thanks! The wiki isn't publicly available and I plan on disabling anonymous uploads after the script has uploaded the documents from our old wiki.
