[Commons-l] changing target of the "You can help" link on Wikipedia?

Hello,

If you click on an image at (en.) Wikipedia that is from hosted on
Commons you get to a page with the text:

"This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. The description on its
description page there is shown below.
Commons is a freely licensed media file repository. You can help. "

The words "You can help" link to the image upload form at
Commons:Upload/en. I think it would be better if "You can help" would
link to Commons:Welcome, which gives an introduction and lists several
ways in which one can help the Commons. It is a lot more friendly for
potential contributers than just showing them the upload form, and
lets people know you can contribute in other ways than just uploading
images.

What do people think?

regards,
