searching for file usage

[edit]

Hi UYWNF,

At the editathon I promised to send you a method to search for file usage. The procedure to do this from inside Commons is:

  • Go to your preferences: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences
  • Choose the "Gadgets" tab, and scroll down to "Maintenance Tools"
  • Select "Google Images & Tineye" and save your preferences.
  • Then at the top of each image page, the "More" dropdown at the top of the page will have links to "Google Images" or "Tineye", both worth trying to search for that image and related images across the web.

So, for example, this image File:Coral_Outcrop_Flynn_Reef.jpg shows lots of usage on both tineye and Google images (although I'm not sure if those links are persistent or only work for my session).

I hope that helps! --99of9 (talk) 00:30, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
