--- Comment #8 from Tisza Gergő <gti...@gmail.com> ---
Current state:

* categories are available via shared DB (Commons) but not available via API
(InstantCommons), probably not even when CommonsMetadata has been installed on
the foreign API repo (this last part is a regression and an easy fix).

* file description is available both ways, but does not work on the beta
cluster -> bug 57248

* any other data would be available via API, but only as far as the
CommonsMetadata version which is installed on the foreign repo supports it; and
would not be available at all via shared DB. This is not a problem currently -
there is no other data, everything is derived from either HTML metadata in the
description, or from categories.

There doesn't seem to be a good short-term way of dealing with this in general;
we have delt with it for all cases which are actually a problem for
MediaViewer; and in the long term, Wikidata on Commons will provide a good way
of attaching any metadata to any file, so I am inclined to close this as
wontfix.
