I believe we have clear policy on only sitelinking commons categories to
category-like items, and commons galleries to article-like items;

As I wrote before, that thought is too simple. You only say that a zero

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

Gallery is dumb and it sucks, nobody should sitelink to gallery. Just use

No we have not a clear policy on only linking sitelinks to categories if
