Usage

The {{ifexist only Commons}} template can be used to identify a media file which exists on Wikimedia Commons but not on English Wikipedia; whereas {{ifexist|File:...}} and {{ifexist|Media:...}} will only check, respectively, whether the file exists on English Wikipedia (the first) and on Commons or English Wikipedia (the second).

Use the format

{{ifexist only Commons|file name|return if true|return if false}}

. The 2nd and 3rd parameters are used to define the output of the template if the condition is true or false, respectively.
