Problem
I have a potential usage case where I need to retrieve a list of pages that use a particular image, but I found that neither linksto nor uses can do that.
For example, using linksto=Image:Baka dancers June 2006.jpg will effectively get the pages listed at Special:Whatlinkshere/Image:Baka_dancers_June_2006.jpg, rather than a list like that at Image:Baka_dancers_June_2006.jpg#Links.
In other words, I guess I would like a mechanism similar to linksto, but checks the imagelinks table instead of pagelinks.
Reply
This sounds reasonable. Could you make the necessary change? If you send me the modified source I will test it, adapt the documentation and make the change part of the next release. But I do not have time to develop this functionality. Although the DPL source code has grown quite a bit it should not be too complicated to make the change because it is basically an analogy to other, existing pieces of functionality.
