Hoi, I know the categories in Commons exist. I also know that you do not have to add categories when an image is uploaded. Many people do not consider the categories because they are just there and are not easy nor obvious without a long study. They are there and they evolve. When the "community"

Hoi, What is the point of Wiktionary, WIkipedia, Wikispecies et al as a WMF project? Like Wikidata they all help us share in the sum of all knowledge. Wikidata already provides an application in being the vehicle for interlanguage links. The low hanging fruit of Wikidata is not sharing info in tem

How about the XML format returned by "api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&format=xml"? What will it change to? For example: The current return value of http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=xml&titles=Q1&prop=revisions&rvprop=content is:

Whilst that may be so, please nobody suggest dismantling any categories on Commons, unless and until Commons specifically asks for it. As I learnt today, some on Commons are touchy enough just about the *idea* of Commons Wikibase, never mind anything being stored on it. https://commons.wikime

If I may chime in: Most, if not all, of the (overly specific) categories on Commons can be expressed by statements. So, storing the data/time from EXIF or otherwise would allow for a "midsummer morning" query. Adding EXIF camera model to the file data item would allow to query for cellphones (it wo
