When running findMissingFiles.php, I get a few files for which there is a database record but no image in the mediawiki/images directory. But what to do next? What I am missing is some documentation or hint of how to get rid of those database entries.
Topic on Project:Support desk
Are they causing problems? Why do you want to get rid of them?
Does deleting them in the web interface work?
There are 18 images affected. When viewing the File:xxx pages of those images, I can see that in each case one of the history entries is missing the image, instead showing an error message. "Fehler beim Erstellen des Vorschaubildes: Datei fehlt" / error creating thumbnail: file not found
So far so good, in each case there is a newer image.
I just wondered whether I could get rid of the empty history entries in the revision table.
