With fresh eyes, I now see that the intention for this setting is
actually just to change the navigation link in the sidebar, not to
redirect Special:Upload (unless it's a redlink), which it does indeed
do as stated. Since this leaves Special:Upload available to people like
me who just enter the address directly, I'm disabling local uploads.
If anyone knows of an easy way to redirect Special:Upload to a shared
repo, please let me know
:)

Hello,
I'm setting up a multi-language wiki family, with the wikis all using a
shared file repo. Currently the language wikis correctly display media
from the shared file repo wiki, but I'd like any file uploads on the
language wikis to be redirected to the shared file repo wiki
(mediapool).
The documentation for $wgUploadNavigationUrl
(
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUploadNavigationUrl) states
Point the upload navigation link to an external URL. Useful if you want
to use a shared repository by default without disabling local uploads,
e. g.:
I've assigned this setting the URL of the mediapool wiki Special:Upload
page for all language wikis, but contrary to the documentation, file
uploads on the local wikis are not redirected, and indeed any files
uploaded on the language wikis remain local, unavailable to the
mediapool wiki.
Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks
Andru
