The reason for this not working /may/ be that there's a text, but no image to copy ;-)
Anyway, that error is now caught and shown.

which ones do you have so far?
You can see the current list by clicking on "source of this script" (even if you don't speak code;-)
The deleting admin *has* to copy the new image url line, otherwise the image can never be found again! That way, the image is stored away from public eyes but still restorable through the deleting admin.
I think instead it should make an edit to the image page saying "BACK-UP COPY AT (url)". Because the image is about to be deleted anyway. If time proves the image should be undeleted, you can just undelete the image page, recover the URL and go from there. That seems much easier than storing the URL on my local machine for example. It would also save one manual step ;)
I added a button which will open the edit page and append that message (also fill in the summary). You'll have to click it (and "Save") manually, though...
I didn't get one that was actually used, though, so I'm not sure what the check-usage part of the interface will look like.
One line for each wikimedia project that uses the image; in this line, project name, how many articles, talk pages, project pages, etc. use it For details (which pages actually use the image), click on "details" ;-)
Do TPTB approve of this use of the toolserver? If commons admins get into it, it seems like it could be reasonably intensive...
I posted it on toolserver-l, and so far, noone complained. Tim Starling made a good suggestion; I'll talk to him about this.
At some point, I'll have to really delete these images, no matter the disk space available. I'd assume it's safe to /really/ delete them if they were not resurrected within three month or so.
