Lydia, there is more to (2) than just talking about the data stored in those files on Commons. Scans like the one you mention should link back to the Wikidata item. So there is a need to be able to add such Wikidata links from every file that refers to the image. So for example in this case below of a painting on Wikipedia, I use several images to illustrate the article, but this is a painting that has been restored and the before and after images are on Commons, but not in a dedicated category together : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Mark,_by_Frans_Hals I want to link both of these files to the Wikidata item, which is possible if I edit the artwork templates of both files by hand, but it would be nice to be able to update these with a mouseclick.
Yes, exactly. For example one scan of the Mona Lisa would have a statement on it saying it is a scan of the particular painting. And that would be a link to the Wikidata item for the painting.
Cheers Lydia
