--- Comment #1 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <bawolff...@gmail.com> ---
Just to clarify, you are asking that

User links to (or goes to) [[File:Example.png]] on en.wikipedia, they end up at
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Example.png instead of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Example.png. (Just want to make sure I
understand you correctly. "stream" can sometimes have a different meaning).

Doing this would probably make the "what pages use this file" not have the
information for the specific wiki, which might be considered bad. Magically
moving the user to the other site could also cause some confusion. People might
not realize what happened, etc.

>- Commons categories are not shown on local File: pages
In theory there's nothing preventing us from showing them. How to present them
so as not to be confusing is probably the biggest issue.

>- Commons annotations are not shown on local File: pages
annotations are done via js and really don't have much to do with MW. I see no
reason why adding the javascript to the local js of the downstream user can't
be done (Aka, add the annotation js to [[mediawiki:Common.js]] on wikipedia).
