Caveats

edit
  • skips the wiki where the files are stored, in the case of the WMF wiki farm, it skips all usage on wikimedia commons; to get translusions on that wiki, API:Fileusage must be used
  • lists only transclusions of files ([[File:...]]), not links to them ([[:File:...]]); locally the links can be gathered by API:Backlinks , but there is no way to gather them globally (other than querying single wikis one at a time)
  • the request can be sent to any wiki participating in the farm resulting in same uses listed; still it can be preferable to send it to the wiki where the files are stored in order to avoid useless details included in the answer such as complaints about the file locally not existing or translation of the namespace prefix File: into some other language
