[Wikidata-l] Please create option for two links to a Commons category - Wikidata

6 Oct 2013

In an item there is since recently a section for a link to Commons. I noticed that only
one item can be linked to one category on Commons, while we have for many years two places
where we would like to the same category on Commons.

Example:
We have a category and an article about Germany. From both the article as the category we
would like to link to the Category:Germany on Commons. This system is in use on many
Wikipedias.

So please enable the possibility for items that contain categories only two add the
Commons category also to that page. Now we keep having Commonscat links in the section
"Statements" and in the section "Wikimedia Commons page linked to this
item" and it is only implemented half...

Secondly I also would like to know in the sidebar on Commons both which articles and which
categories on Wikipedias link to this Commons category. So please split the section in the
sidebar in two sections of interwikilinks, one section for categories on Wikipedia about
that subject and one section for articles on Wikipedia about that subject.
