Consistency of interwiki links to Commons with properties linking Commons
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

The interwiki link in the section "Wikimedia Commons page linked to this item" should be imported, exported or compared in relation to properties linking to Commons.

  • If the iw link contains category page of Commons, the link should be automatically rendered (copied) to P373 property (Commons category). Possible collision should be reported as possible error.
  • If the iw link contains gallery page of Commons, the link should be automatically rendered (copied) to P935 property (Commons gallery). Possible collision should be reported as possible error.
  • P373 and P935 properties should be rendered (exported) as interwiki links linking from the Wikidata item to Commons - however, the priority must be specified for the cases that both these properties are filled and for the cases that more Wikidata items link (through these properties) to identic Commons page.

Thanks for the report :)
Unfortunately we can't do this as the software must not know about any specific properties and their relation to each other or to sitelinks. The software can be used on other wikis as well where this would be completely different. Bots are the way to go for this and they are already handling it as far as I know.

As soon as the software enable to interconnect the article pages, gallery pages and category pages related to identic item effectively, the properties P373 and P935 could become redundant.
