| Description: | Return unused files |
| Extension / Version: | DPL / ? |
| Type / Status: | Change Request / open |
Problem
Is there a way to select images that are used (il_to NOT NULL, linked to by any other page)) or unsed?
I want to return a simple list of unused images, but also in combination, e.g. unused files, uploaded by a specifed user.
This should actually return a simple list of 5 unused files (if I understand the parameter correctly), but it doesn't.
{{#dpl:
|debug=3
|namespace=Image
|notlinksfrom=%
|count=5
}}

The problem is that notlinksfrom expects an exact article name; it does not understand 'LIKE %'.
Work around
You can nest two queries; the first one produces a list of all images and calls another template for each ofg the images. The second query produces output only if the imageused clause is false.
---------------------------------------- Code in a page named 'check list for unused images' (e.g.)
===Unused Images===
{{#dpl:
|namespace=Image
|format=,²{Unused Image¦%PAGE%}²,
|count=100
}}
---------------------------------------- Code in page 'Template:Unused Image'
{{#replace:
{{#dpl:
|imageused={{{1}}}
|resultsheader=OOKK
|noresultsheader=\n* [[{{{1}}}]]
}}|/.*OOKK.*/|
}}
---------------------------------------- end
The code in the second template generates the lsit of articles which use an image; the #replace throws the whole list away if there was at least one match; otherwise it outputs the name of the image under question.
