Also there are Special:FilePath and thumb.php. I'm not sure how this
affects caching though.

Hello Markus;
The URL of a Commons image is build like this:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/x/xy/File_name.ext
Where X and XY are the first char and first&second chars respectively of
the md5sum of the filename (replacing the spaces with _).
For a 200px thumb:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/x/xy/File_name.ext/200…
The SVG files are a special case, therefore .png is appended to .ext, being
.ext.png. For SVG doesn't mind to use big thumb sizes, but when file is
JPG, don't try to generate a thumb bigger than the original file or you
will get a beautiful error.

Dear Wikidatarians,
From Commons media properties, I get the string name of a file on Commons.
I can easily use it to build a link to the Commons page fo rthat image.
* But how do I get the raw image URL?
* And can I also get the raw URL of a small-scale (thumbnail) image?
I would like to beautify my Wikidata applications to show some images. I
know this is more of a general MediaWiki question, but it is much more
relevant in Wikidata, so I am posting it here first. I guess somebody has
already solved this since we have images in various Wikidata-based
applications and gadgets.
Thanks
Markus
