According to wiki.wireshark.org's MoinMoin documentation on AttachFile:

    https://wiki.wireshark.org/HelpOnActions/AttachFile

"To create a new attachment, you can either add an attachment link to any page
(see below on how to do that), or click on the AttachFile link at the bottom of
the page. In the first case, you will see an Upload new attachment link after
saving the page. Clicking on it will lead you to the upload page, just like
directly clicking on the AttachFile link."

If we could allow the former, but *not* the latter, that might be nice.  It
would prevent people from just uploading random crap to, for example, the
SampleCaptures page - they'd have to edit the page first to add a link, and
then *remove* the link if they didn't want it.

According to the documentation on configuration:

    https://wiki.wireshark.org/HelpOnConfiguration#file-attachments

"The AttachFile action enables a page to have multiple attached files. Since
file uploads could be abused for DoS (Denial of Service) attacks, AttachFile is
an action that may be enabled by the wiki administrator. To do this, add
"allowed_actions = ['AttachFile']" to your configuration file."

which doesn't seem to indicate that there's a way to disable the AttachFile
link without disabling adding attachment links to pages.
