Special:Missing files should be blank for wikis redirecting to commons
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Special:Missing files for wikis with Commons as a default file repository should be blank (or almost blank with leftovers) or it should be redirected to Commons (IMHO blank with link to Commons is better than redirect). The actual state - page full of existing files crossed out (available on Commons) is useless.

Relatively, Special:UnusedFiles on commons should have an exception and work with global usage of files

There is no "Special:Missing files". I assume you mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WantedFiles. Please always include a link to the page where you're seeing a problem, so that we don't have to guess :)

@matmarex Thank you, I translated its name from czech assuming my translation is the same as page name in english. Thank you for merging this into another task as a duplicate too
