GlobalUsage is an extension to view the global usage of images in a wiki farm with shared image repository. It adds Special:GlobalUsage as well as a list of pages that include the image on image description pages.

[edit] Installation

1. Download the extension and unpack it in the extensions directory
2. Source GlobalUsage.sql: php maintenance/sql.php extensions/GlobalUsage/GlobalUsage.sql

   Note: do this from the wiki installation where you want the GlobalUsage data to be located. Typically this is your shared image repository.

3. Edit LocalSettings.php and add to the bottom of the file: require_once( "$IP/extensions/GlobalUsage/GlobalUsage.php" );
4. In LocalSettings, set $wgGlobalUsageDatabase to the identifier of the wiki where the GlobalUsage data is located (usually the database name). It should be something understandable to wfGetDB. Example: $wgGlobalUsageDatabase = 'commonswiki';
5. Run refreshGlobalimagelinks.php on all wikis in your farm. This will take a long time. php extensions/GlobalUsage/refreshGlobalimagelinks.php
6. Visit Special:GlobalUsage and enjoy.
