To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory is writable, then set this to true:

$wgEnableUploads = true;

Per default, all registered users can upload files. To restrict this, you have to change:

To prevent normal users from uploading files:
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['upload'] = false;

To create a special group called "uploadaccess", and allow members of that group to upload files:
$wgGroupPermissions['uploadaccess']['upload'] = true;

To allow "autoconfirmed" (non-newbie) users to upload files:</translate>
$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['upload'] = true;

The right to replace existing files is handled by an extra permission, called reupload:

To prevent normal users from overriding existing files:
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['reupload'] = false;

To allow "autoconfirmed" (non-newbie) users to replace existing files:
$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['reupload'] = true;
