When using more then one ForeignAPIRepo there are some strang things happening I'm using Commons, german and english Wikipedia as filerepos Because Wikipedia also uses Commons as a FileRepo the pictures are displayed to have a duplicate and no file description is shown So the point is, that pictures from a filerepo should be somehow marked as such or not be pushed to the wikis that use it as filerepo.
>Because Wikipedia also uses Commons as a FileRepo the pictures are displayed to >have a duplicate and no file description is shown Don't use both commons and a wikipedia as a file repo ;). File repos are meant to be cascasive (however that doesn't really help you, as you still have the dupes from using both enwiki and dewiki). The no file description shown is bug 27111. >So the point is, that pictures from a filerepo should be somehow marked as such >or not be pushed to the wikis that use it as filerepo. Well the api output does mark them as coming from a different repo. However it would be very difficult to be able to match the repo name to the actual repo in general. Thus it would be difficult to be able to determine if the two dupes come from the same repo, or if they're two dupes that are from two separate repos. Maybe we could suppress the dupe notification if both dupes have the same file name (I think that would be reasonably sane, not 100% sure). I suppose we could have a disabled by default config option to not fetch things from repos that aren't local.
Okay, well. The biggest problem in my eyes is the problem described in bug 27111 the other effects are not nice, but I can live with that. The missing description is a big problem because the licenses are missing.
I think the duplicate detection should simply exclude files with identical names
