Just a word of caution about collecting all images in commons. A while ago, at least, some local wikis had images with license terms incompatible with commons and vice versa. I recall very simple logos of companies, and several types of "fair use" derivatives.
If that is still so, we have an obstacle that may prevent us from both moving images, and even linking to them under some local laws. Technically, I agree with the idea quoted below.
