Description

Special:WantedFiles lists files that are used but do not exist on given wiki. This includes files from Wikimedia Commons and thus effectively renders Special:WantedFiles useless for looking up files that don't exist anywhere.

One way to fix that would be to exclude files from other repositories from being listed on Special:WantedFiles.
