Description David Crochet 2012-05-15 12:02:30 UTC
In Wikimedia Commons, on Special:GlobalUsage, we can only search a file. And the result list start with an alphabetic sort list of project.

Can you add some box filter as :

"Search only in the project : (p|b|wikt|n|v|...)"
"Search only in this language : (en|fr|ar|br|...)"

Thanks

This seems like it could be a lot of extra work - the purpose of Special:GlobalUsage is to see where a file is used *globally* across the Wikimedia Foundation projects - do lots of users need to limit themselves to a particular project and language often?
Comment 2 Bryan Tong Minh 2012-12-30 15:07:49 UTC
Due to the way that projects are named on Wikimedia, and the way that the index is built up, it would only be possible to efficiently scan by a single language (e.g., gil_wiki LIKE 'en%'), but not by project (gil_wiki LIKE '%wiktionary').
