Thanks Platonides. I was hoping I wouldn't need to parse through the table
SQL or load it. But yeah, I'll probably do that.
Also, thanks for letting me know about the copyright issues. Yes, we are
aware that some images are restricted and need to be excluded.
Regards
Praveen

Hello!
Is there a way to tell whether an image is on the "commons" wiki or on
"enwiki". Some images seem to be available on "wikipedia/commons",

Thanks in advance for your answers.

If it's present in the image table, it's a local upload, so for English
wikipedia it will be on
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/…
(the path would change for other projects, obviously)
Else it means it lives in Wikimedia Commons (the only foreign repo
used), so it'd be at
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/…
It's also possible that an "included image" doesn't actually exist and
won't be on any of them.
Also note that images locally uploaded to English wikipedia are most
often than not unfree, so be careful about copyright issues with them.
