Duplicate prevention

Open Eeim opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

I believe that commons uploading tools should detect duplicates of existing files and at least warn before accepting to upload such files.

Maybe useful: Exact duplicates are already automatically detected on Commons and get listed here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ListDuplicatedFiles I don't know if there's already the possibility to query Commons with a file hash..?

Such features are also mentioned here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Umfragen/Technische_W%C3%BCnsche_2015/Dateien_und_Commons#Upload (list of requests for tech features from a poll)
