Description

File names on Wikimedia Commons must be unique (two files can't have the same name).

The default Wikimedia Commons UploadWizard warns the user when they are naming a file the same as one that already exists.

It would be great if OpenRefine also warns uploaders of new Commons files if this happens. I can imagine this will be part of the 'Issues' tab when creating a schema for uploading files to Commons, see #22
