Assigned to: multichill
Original description:
Commonscat.py should update interwiki's at Commons when working on a category. Some code is already available, but not the policy on how to update the links. We have several sources:

-interwiki links to articles on the Commons category
-interwiki links to categoires on the Commons category
-interwiki links to articles at the Wikipedia article
-interwiki links to categories at the Wikipedia category

Not clear how to deal with this. We don't want bots constantly changing the links at a Commons category because multiple categories at some Wikipedia link to the same Commons category. Interwiki conflicts are probably going to be a source of problems too.

A solution might be:
\- Wikipedia article => Commons category
\- Wikipedia category => Commons category
\- Commons gallery => Wikipedia article

\(Commons article = Commons gallery\)

and

Commons category => Wikipedia article

I would be a great help if commonscats and interwiki on Commons were updated af often and "easy" as interwiki-links on the Wikipedia-projects. So I thing it is a great idea.

@Multichill, with Commons now integrated into Pywikibot-Wikidata , and still using a very different set of methods in Site and Page , and different scripts, I think this task is unlikely to be useful.
