The image description page says that the image is not used, and the image is listed in the orphan image page. 1. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Shiva.jpg used in http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva 2. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Narmada.jpg used in http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narmadâ Orphan image page : http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Unusedimages&limit=100&offset=1800 Image #1872 (Narmada) This is on the French Wikipedia on August 14th, 2004. (I don't which version of Mediawiki is used now.) Yann
I think this is a major problem. One of the volunteers on nl: is trying to clean up the unused images, and is wading by hand through this bulky list of thousands of entries. But with images linked through templates (parameter parsing) never showing up as used, he created a page to list these images to prevent them showing up as orphans (anti-weespagina). Images of which he cant find any usage of are listed for deletion, but chances of overlooking an article are great - google isnt always up-to-date. some examples: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afbeelding:Wapenschild_van_duitsland.png http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duitsland http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afbeelding:Vlag_van_duitsland_normaal.png (lists all uses except Duitsland=Germany, the article mentioned above)
Fixed in REL1_3 and in HEAD. See Bug 60.
