Hi there,
we use a little MW farm with a wiki-commons for common media files like WP.
We noticed that at the file description articles in wiki-commons there is a automatically generated list of articles where the file is used. There are only articles from wiki-commons itself.
We would very appreciate to include all articles from our farm.
Any suggestions for configuration or changes?
THX!
BTW: All wikis reside on the same server but in different databases. Necessary database user accounts and passwords are known, of course.

At the present, there's no mechanism in place for tracking incoming links from other wikis, and no mechanism for informing repositories that we're using their images to facilitate this.

Within a farm you could just do a check for usage on each database, though this isn't built in currently.

You could adapt this Javascript function which does the same thing on the Wikimedia Commons:
