Description J.C. Wren 2009-12-13 14:56:06 UTC
I have several image files that are only references as [[:Image:filename.ext]].  Special:UnusedFiles counts filename.ext as an unused file.  If I change it to [[Image:filename.ext]], it no longer shows up in the unused file list.
Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2009-12-14 13:08:54 UTC
I guess "used" means "embedded" in this context, not "linked".
Comment 2 J.C. Wren 2009-12-14 13:23:21 UTC
If you say so.  Whatever the case, I am of the opinion that it should not be considered an unused file.
Comment 3 Alex Z. 2009-12-15 01:33:39 UTC
I've clarified the default text on the special page in r60058. As for not including files that are only linked, I agree that this is the intention, recommend WONTFIX.
Comment 4 Chad H. 2009-12-15 02:11:48 UTC
Agree on that one, marking as such.
