Thanks to all who enlightened me. :)

We're basically talking cross-wiki uploader here in the Wikimedia
world (although I'm sure it can be used for other things). I agree
with Ostrzyciel's assessment that it lets anyone upload anything -
that's what prompted the request to disable cross-wiki uploads in the
first place. The UW, in collaboration with campaigns, remains the most
powerful web uploader the Wikimedia community currently has.
