Hello; What sites are allowed in the item "other sites" section? I haven't found documentation about it. I would suggest to allow links to other wikis in the Internet, that way we could create a network of wikis, although I know that some wikis are controversial and don't follow the Wikipedia guidelines. What do you think about it? Regards

Currently MediaWiki, Wikispecies, Meta, Wikidata and Commons are in this section.

Is there any documentation on how Commons is handled? Especially how additional links to gallery/category is handled if sitelinks are added to the opposite page? That is there is a sitelink to the gallery, what happen then with the category link. Do we reimplement the additional link with javascript?

What section are we talking about? Is this a part of the entries presentation on Wikidata, or the sidebar on client wikis, or something else? Nemo

Personally, -1. I don't think it would be a good idea, mostly because of the "controversial wikis" you cited. If we include them in the "other sites" sections, it may appear to people who don't know how Wikidata works that we are, in a way, endorsing those wikis. Let's keep the "other sites" section to the Wikimedia projects who have only one instance, and let the Wikidata community decide which wiki may or may not be connected through statements to our items.
