Bug ID: 58508
Summary: CirrusSearch: The method for preventing duplicates of
local and commons file results has a couple of flaws
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: CirrusSearch

I was thinking about this last night:
1. If a file is updated on commons we'll remove all the flags that prevent
duplicates from showing up. We certainly should fix this quickly.
2. If a file is on a wiki, then uploaded to commons it won't be marked with
the flag until we perform a noop edit on the wiki that used to have it.
One option we have to prevent both of these is to have commons search _all_
other wikis after a file is updated and mark the duplicates. That seems like
too much overhead.
An option for preventing just #1 is to have commons know that it is special and
needs to note clear those flags on update.
Another option for just preventing #1 is to move those flags into the common's
database somehow and yank them out when building the commons page. If we
integrate commons with some wikidata like thing then this might be a good
option.
An option for masking number 2 is to remove the duplicate search results on the
client side if they would appear on the same page. It is a parlour trick, but
might be worth it.
