Specifically, when you're a new user on a small wiki like sw.wp, you _cannot upload_ locally due to a restriction of uploads to autoconfirmed users. The upload link isn't even visible in the sidebar until you're autoconfirmed, and you get a confusing error message if you happen to call up Special:Upload.
Please don't! Just add the link to Commons, which has a *far* superior upload process, and people around who actually know what's going on. With automatic account creation, users will have a much better experience with this process than in the past, and the Commons community is constantly trying to improve the experience of actually uploading files on Commons -- but those improvements are on Commons, not xxwiki.
Really, sending them to Commons is a much better solution.
