This issue was converted from https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/COMMONSDELINKER-19. Summary: CommonsDelinker should not replace images if a different version of the target exists locally Issue type: Bug - A problem which impairs or prevents the functions of the product. Priority: Major Status: Open Assignee: Siebrand Mazeland <s.mazeland@xs4all.nl> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ilmari Karonen <nospam@vyznev.net> Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2010 14:01:37 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CommonsDelinker should not carry out replacements if the local wiki has a different image by the same name as the target. For an example of this happening, see this diff where CommonsDelinker replaced commons:File:Nepenthes boschiana-2.jpg with en:File:Nepenthes boschiana.jpg (instead of the intended commons:File:Nepenthes boschiana.jpg).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ilmari Karonen <nospam@vyznev.net> Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2010 14:26:11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ps. I've reverted the replacement I used as an example above and moved the en.wp image to Commons. At the time the replacement happened, File:Nepenthes_boschiana.jpg and File:Nepenthes_boschiana-2.jpg were identical on Commons, and the photo now at commons:File:Nepenthes_boschiana.jpg was at the same title on en.wp.
For the record: There is a complaint about this at [[c:COM:AN#Bot User:CommonsDelinker and Voting booth]].
If an image is deleted on Commons, the bot goes around and removes all files with that name from all projects. (copy from an)
