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
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 c
