The [[Special:FileDuplicateSearch]] page leaves much to be desired since you can only search for the title of an image, which is silly since then you'd have to know beforehand that the image is a duplicate. There's a forum thread about how to more effectively search for duplicate images on [[w:Forum:Search for duplicate files|Community Central]].
 
Luckily there isare atwo work-aroundarounds. The [http://www.wikia.com/api.phpfirst Wikiaone API] can be usedis to producemost aaccurate listwhile ofthe allsecond imagesmay wherebe the duplicatesmost are marked:convinient.
 
===API===
The [http://www.wikia.com/api.php Wikia API] can be used to produce a list of all images where the duplicates are marked:
 
<code>http://sims.wikia.com/api.php?action=query&generator=allimages&prop=duplicatefiles&gailimit=500</code>

{{SITENAME}} currently has {{NUMBEROFFILES}} files. That's some pages to search for regular users, but only 2 pages for bots and admins.
 
===Google===
Searching the Sims Wiki file domain for the duplicate text string will also find duplicates:
 
[http://www.google.com/#q=The+following+file+is+a+duplicate+of+this+file+site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fsims.wikia.com%2Fwiki%2FFile Search google for duplicate files]
 
The above link searches google with the command: <code>The following file is a duplicate of this file site:http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/File</code>
 
Note that the results may be outdated.
