That would help, but it's often not the uploader who is responsible for
the use of an image on a Wiki. One needs a more general way to notify
the editors who are watching the page on which the image is used.
At the moment, CommonsTicker does not work on the English Wikiedia, and
there is no way an en.W user can be advised in advance that a particular
Commons image is likely to be deleted.
One option would be to write some code that would leave a short message
on the talk page of any article on which an image nominated for deletion
is in use.
Anyone care to write something like that?
