"Please visit the upload form on Wikimedia Commons [link to localized version] to upload files, then return here to insert them. Uploading to Wikimedia Commons makes the file available to all Wikimedia languages and projects. Files can be uploaded directly to {{SITENAME}} by more experienced users."
This could be an interim solution until we have nicer Commons integration. Thoughts?
I'm all for this: if a feature is disabled locally and supposed to be used elsewhere, just hiding the feature isn't very user-friendly. Providing a clear explanation of how this stuff works and why clearly wins. This is something that should IMO be fairly uncontroversial (we're not changing the status quo, just documenting it) and can be implemented quickly without having to wait for the discussion on how this should be done in a perfect world to conclude.
