Discussion

@Piandcompany - do you remember the exclusions that we talked about at Wikimania? I forget which user it is, but there's a user that has subpages (hundreds of them) with the daily free uploads. Files in that person's userspace and nowhere else still need to be considered orphaned. We got that working in Wikimania, I think, but I want to make sure that stays in there, else becomes much less useful. Sven Manguard Wha? 06:57, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

If you can confirm it's either Sven's code or that you've built in Sven's exclusions to your code, we should be ready to trial. MBisanz ^talk 12:53, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

The code from WM2012 does not include for this task a check to see if the file is in the free uploads gallery, I can add such a check though if you want. Piandcompany ^chat 17:08, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I would prefer if you did. Use in a userspace gallery of free images isn't really use by the normal definition of the word. MBisanz ^talk 21:25, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Check is now employed. Piandcompany ^chat 22:07, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
