Forum:Duplicate Image List

Hi, everyone. If you don't know me already, I'm User:Lelouch Di Britania and I can often be found in the Code Geass Wiki. One of the most powerful (and fun!) aspects of MediaWiki is the fact that users can customise their own interface using CSS and JavaScript. Many people may not have any knowledge or experience with coding, but fear not, many tools are already available for you to use just by adding one or two lines to your user subpage.

One of the best places to have a look at for java scripts is the Wikia Developers Wiki where many helpful users have shared useful scripts they have created. I'm going to highlight one of them here and let you know how it works and we can discuss whether it would be a good idea to use it on this wiki.

One of these scripts helps list all the Duplicate Images on this wiki. First you must load a script on MediaWiki:Common.js. Since only an admin can edit it, I asked User:Sff9 to do that.

Use
In addition to loading the script, a page must be created that includes a certain code. (see Code Geass Wiki:Duplicate Images for an example). Once everything is set up it will begin listing the duplicate images on the local wiki, if there are any. The script parses 500 images at a time and loads more every 5 seconds until it exhausts the list.

Please let me know what you think about this below. Thank You!
