In MonoBook.php there is this block of code:
foreach( array('contributions', 'log', 'blockip', 'emailuser', 'upload', 'specialpages') as $special ) { if($this->data['nav_urls'][$special]) { ?><li id="t-<?php echo $special ?>"><a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($this->data['nav_urls'][$special]['href']) ?>"<?php echo $skin->tooltipAndAccesskey('t-'.$special) ?>><?php $this->msg($special) ?></a></li> <?php } }that controls wether or not it is displayed or not. I haven't examined it in detail but I presume $this->data['nav_urls'][$special] is an object and the link is only displayed if that object returns true (?). As far as I can tell the same should be happening to the upload link (as you can see from the array in the above code) but it is not. You would have to examine the sites configuration for more details though.
Thank you.
Why doesn't the same happen for Special:Upload?
it does. the upload link doesn't show to logged out users.
I can see the upload link on en.wikiversity, internalwiki, boardwiki... just to pick a handful of wikis I don't have accounts for.
This could be a problem wither their configuration, unfoutunatley since they are some of the newer wikis their files probably aren't on noc. To find out you'd have to ask a sysadmin.
I don't think it is a 'problem' with the configuration. I chose those wikis because they are newer/smaller ones that almost definitely haven't changed their default config files. I think the Special:Upload link always show on all MediaWiki installations unless you use JavaScript or something to hide it. That's always been my observation.
Here I was thinking maybe it was something tricky related to the namespace but no, maybe it's just a bug. ;)
