I'll move it once I'm admin :-)

I can find all pages (in the main namespace) that include this image,
but neither query.php nor api.php let me find the other images used on
these pages. So, can't be done with JavaScript ATM.

Of course I can, and it would be faster and would take care of the
gallery issue. Alas, experience tells me that it will never get turned
on, and an extension would never be installed on the live sites.
