We will be moving to Commonsdata which will let us do queries to generate
millions of category like groups on the fly. There is little point in
messing with commons categories before then.

Overwriting the commons category system needs large
consensus. And i don't
think that commons community agree with such a change.
So i ask again the wikidata people, please start a RRF on commons or
respect our categorization schema. Commons has a own community with active
users. It is not okay that a other project is deciding commons stuff
whiteout asking commons.
I suggest to move this discussion to COM:VP.

Subject: Re: [Commons-l] [Wikidata] Trends in links from Wikidata items to
Commons
the problem I see is that commons will always have more categories than
wikipedia can have articles take fences, commons has wooden fences this
broken into many cats including wooden fences in a country, this then grows
and then gets broken into sub national entities while the number of
articles on wikipedia remains at one commons now has 196 country articles
with anything between 5 and 50 sub national entities, then some idiot
paints his fence now we have wooden fences by colour in a little over 3000
pantone colours....
What I'm seeing here is solution that has the horse pushing the cart
problem lies not in linking commons cats to wikipedia articles wikidata but
in ensuring wikidata articles are linked to the full range of categories
available on commons and that those links can be easily adjusted as
necessary

Am I the only one that thinks that jheald's .js is a temporary solution?
Am I the only one that actually appreciate his attempt at solving a
*practical* problem by providing a *practical* solution,
It might be a practical solution, but I don't understand what it solves:
what's the practical problem?
Quoting from the project chat, the problem to me seems this: «2.4 millions
categories are not connected to corresponding Wikipedia articles. [...] —
