Details
By default, upload by URL, when enabled via $wgAllowCopyUploads, is only possible using the API (or extensions such as UploadWizard).
To make the option usable from Special:Upload, you can set this variable to true.
In order to make use of this option, users also need to have the option $wgAllowCopyUploads set to true and the associated user right upload_by_url.
Example usage
This example setup will allow all autoconfirmed users to upload by URL, via Special:Upload or the API. Add to the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:
$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['upload_by_url'] = true;
$wgAllowCopyUploads = true;
$wgCopyUploadsFromSpecialUpload = true;
