There are other extensions that do this:

Extension:SimpleBatchUpload

Extension:MsUpload (beta)

The following also works for some in 1.34.2 (though probably not the best way to do it):

In MediaWiki:Common.js :

mw.loader.load( '/index.php?title=MediaWiki:MultiUpload.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' );

In MediaWiki:MultiUpload.js :

// Add Special:MultiUpload
$('a.new[title~="Special:MultiUpload"]').each(function() {
$(this).attr('title', $(this).attr('title').split(' (')[0]);
});


//<source lang="javascript">
var getUrlParameter = function getUrlParameter(sParam) {
    var sPageURL = decodeURIComponent(window.location.search.substring(1)),
        sURLVariables = sPageURL.split('&'),
        sParameterName,
        i;
 
    for (i = 0; i < sURLVariables.length; i++) {
        sParameterName = sURLVariables[i].split('=');
 
        if (sParameterName[0] === sParam) {
            return sParameterName[1] === undefined ? true : sParameterName[1];
        }
    }
};
