- If you want to see an RfC supporting implementation of that, let me know.
Yes, please.
(In reply to Tomasz W. Kozlowski from comment #3)
Yes, please.
If no one else beats me, I have time, Friday, MAR 28 next week, to prepare an RfC.
I'm sure this is a dupe...
And I seem to recall there being a suggestion from ops to not want to do this, in favour of a better server seide copy thing

Yep, Faidon rejected this request in the past. Trouble is, no-one is interested in writing a "better server side copy thing"...
I was also troubled by Faidon's comment at bug 42473 comment 15:
Moreover, copying files internally seems wrong to me in general. It's
probably okay if it's a limited use case, but if it's something that's going
to get popular
He is seemingly unaware how popular this is already: hundreds of thousands of files have been copied across to Commons over the years.
Reopen per T44473#7907052, several tasks will be merged to here.
Extracted from T44473, this task aims for adding "upload.wikimedia.org'"to $wgCopyUploadsDomains.
This can now be done via https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Copyupload-allowed-domains (given sufficient consensus) and doesn't need a phab task.
