Hi, over the time the questions like "how do I

On that page, I'm trying to collect the requirements for extension
that would address these problems, as well as the ways of

I believe it would be the best and easiest if Wikibase extension would
be reappropriated for this. Basically the only thing needed is new data
editing interface that would be active in the File namespace.
