If Commons has a lot in common (*cough*) with another

would probably be Wikisource. Both are used to collect existing works
that are typically not modified much (though Commons also accepts
original creations). But Wikisource has been split into many different
language editions for good reason, as the needs of different
communities outweigh the benefits of centralization.
More to the point, all Wikisource material has "language" as a
fundamental attribute, which isn't really applicable here.
The equivalent fragmentation in Commons would presumably be, oh,
something like -
image.commons
video.commons
audio.commons
