Discussion
Does it check to see if the file exists locally before de-linking? Unlikely, I know, but possible all the same. SQL Query me! 23:01, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course, but irrelevant for this request as this is about local deletions. --Krd 04:50, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Good task for a bot. ImageRemovalBot used to remove red-linked images until it went AWOL last month - F ASTILY   16:50, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

 * D was the trial completed? — xaosflux  Talk 21:00, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Trial has been completed, and I‘m not aware of any problems. --Krd 07:10, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm a bit lost trying to find the specific edits for this job, they seem to be co-mingled with another job? Please link to some diffs about this trial. —  xaosflux  Talk 02:54, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * When you look at the current contribs of Filedelinkerbot, this job affects those edits with a red link in the summary, while the unlinks for Commons files always appear blue as external links. (I have to admit the task requested here has never been stopped after the trial.) --Krd 05:41, 30 October 2018 (UTC)


 * trial looks good. — xaosflux  Talk 15:19, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
