Bug ID: 58992
Summary: Add possiblity to query oldimage filtered by SHA1 with
the API
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API

Original bug title: Add possiblity to query oldimage filtered by SHA1 with the
API
where "oldimage" is a reference to the according database table
In an ideal world, there would be one method that tells me whether a file with
a given sha1 was ever on a repo, returning the title where it was seen last.
Currently I am firing 3 requests; 2 against the mw API and 1 against my
toollabs account at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:User_scripts/File_Analyzer&withJS=MediaWiki:FileAnalyzer.js
for each query. As you may already suspect, I'd like to replace the one to my
labs account with one to the mw API.
This is useful for detecting copyright violations, [[WP:Sock puppetry]] and
much more.
