Hi everyone, At Wikimania we had several discussions about the future of Wikidata and Commons. Some broader feedback would be nice. Now we have a property "Commons category" (https://www.wikidata.org/** wiki/Property:P373 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P373>). This is a string and an intermediate solution. In the long run Commons should probably be a wikibase instance in it's own right (structured metadata stored at Commons) integrated with Wikidata.org, see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/**Wikidata:Wikimedia_Commons<https://www.w… more info. In the meantime we should make Commons a wikidata client like Wikipedia and Wikivoyage. How would that work? We have an item https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/**Q9920<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q992… the city Haarlem. It links to the Wikipedia article "Haarlem" and the Wikivoyage article "Haarlem". It should link to the Commons gallery "Haarlem" (https://commons.wikimedia.**org/wiki/Haarlem<https://commons.wikimedia.o… ) We have an item https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/**Q7427769<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q… the category Haarlem. It links to the Wikipedia category "Haarlem". It should link to the Commons category "Haarlem" (https://commons.wikimedia.* *org/wiki/Category:Haarlem<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Haarlem> ). The category item (Q7427769) links to article item (Q9920) using the property "main category topic" (https://www.wikidata.org/** wiki/Property:P301 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P301>). We would need to make an inverse property of P301 to make the backlink. Some reasons why this is helpful: * Wikidata takes care of a lot of things like page moves, deletions, etc. Now with P373 (Commons category) it's all manual * Having Wikidata on Commons means that you can automatically get backlinks to Wikipedia, have intro's for category, etc etc * It's a step in the right direction. It makes it easier to do next steps Small change, lot's of benefits!

Wiki Commons is a client of WikiData, then I think this should be done for galleries only, not categories. Galleries can be easily split and/or merged, reside in more than one category, and offer a "best" selection of images of the subject, as well as offering a link to more images on Commons by clicking through to categories

We're currently trying to figure out how to best do this.

I guess we should disallow sitelinks to the File: namespace, in order to
