Bug #: 36912
Summary: Provide an API that just outputs the count
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: GlobalUsage
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
On Wikimedia Commons we have some scripts that only have to bother about the
count of global usages, not where it is used. These main types are there:
* Script that request CommonsDelinker to replace files across wiki projects
simply want to know: Used or not?
* The user-gallery-script could provide these information so the user gets an
idea what kind of images are often used and what not
* A script that is assisting creating deletion requests could display this
number so it is easier to find files not being in project scope (a file is in
scope automatically if it is used in an other Wikimedia Project) and those you
better don't touch
This is currently possible when querying a single file. But when it comes to
multiple files, the global usage is limited to 500 entries in total, not per
file.
Either a limit per file is introduced (I would set it to a low number for most
tools) or something that returns the number is required.
Thank you.
