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.

I'm sorry Romaine, but there's no consensus on this. Plus, the problem of Wikipedia-to-Commons links can be easily solved with a lua module that calls for both the sitelink and the property Commonscat. I think we did it on the Italian Wikipedia.
All the mess is about how to link Commonscats to Wikipedia articles. I do think it's a good idea - not only because users familiar with Commons also know best the needs of the project - and I'm sure there is some practical solution (with a template, with a module, with G*d know what) to solve this. Even if this will mean that, for the time being, we will enable automatic call for sitelinks only for galleries and not for categories.
Please, let's keep the discussion on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Commons_links and let's decide *together* how to tackle this problem, while avoiding to "bother" the developers.
This is all our fault as a community, if we find ourselves in this situation: we should've decided how to deal with this *before* official launch of phase 1 on Commons. We're two weeks late now, and we need to find a solution.
