Wikidata needs to ask the Commons Community before doing commons related 
changes.

It is so hard to understand what the wikidata people like to do with commons. 
Tons of text, hard to read.   I don't understand what they like to do, but if 
this change is affecting commons then commons community consensus is needed.

Commons

As I wrote before, that thought is too simple. You only say that a zero belongs 
to a zero, and a two belongs to a two, then you only describe the type of page, 
but you ignore the subject of a page. That subject matters much more than the 
namespace number.

Especially Wikinews is a wrong example, as most categories on Commons do not 
have a 1 to 1 relationship with Commons. 
However, articles on Wikipedia do have mostly a 1 on 1 relationship with 
categories on Commons.

It's not such a ridiculous rule, if you think of the rationale behind

it: if gallery = ns0 and category = ns2, linking ns0 <--> ns2 in the

same item is IMHO not a rational thing to do (not even for Wikinews if

you ask me, but I'm digressing).



So the *practical* problem that we have to address is the list of

links in the left column. We really don't have any possibilty to

exploit P373 in any way, not even with a .js, to fix this?
