 ## Pleroma.Upload
 * `uploader`: Select which `Pleroma.Uploaders` to use
 * `filters`: List of `Pleroma.Upload.Filter` to use.
+* `link_name`: When enabled Pleroma will add a `name` parameter to the url of the upload, for example `https://instance.tld/media/corndog.png?name=corndog.png`. This is needed to provide the correct filename in Content-Disposition headers when using filters like `Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Dedupe`
 * `base_url`: The base URL to access a user-uploaded file. Useful when you want to proxy the media files via another host.
 * `proxy_remote`: If you\'re using a remote uploader, Pleroma will proxy media requests instead of redirecting to it.
 * `proxy_opts`: Proxy options, see `Pleroma.ReverseProxy` documentation.
