Hi, I want to upload a file named "Warhammer.png" on a wiki but there seems to already be a file named as such which is not used anywhere on the wiki and is from Wikimedia Commons. The warning says "A file with this name exists already, ..." .
Is my only solution to upload it under a different name or can I overwrite it? What is the best path forward.

There should be a tickbox to ignore warnings

there is but I was under the impression doing so would overwrite the Wikimedia one for every other wiki which may use it.
will it only affect the current wiki in which the file is uploaded?

Here is the warning if I try to move an existing file to "warhammer.png" : File:Warhammer.png exists on a shared repository. Moving a file to this title will override the shared file.

It will not overwrite the file on Wikimedia Commons. The warning means your wiki will display the local version instead of the Commons one.
