  < # XX:
  < $wgMimeDetectorCommand = "file -bi"; # to LocalSettings.php on Linux
  

Turn feature off (includes/DefaultSettings.php)

/** This is a flag to determine whether or not to check file extensions on upload. */
# XX Orig: $wgCheckFileExtensions = true;
$wgCheckFileExtensions = false;

/**

 * by $wgFileExtensions.
 */
