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.

You can see the current list by clicking on "source of this script"
(even if you don't speak code;-)

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")

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

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
