CommonsDelinker changes links on the original summary to point to commons by prepending w:commons: to the pagename.
a) The w: is unnecessary. All projects I tested do have commons: as a direct interwiki link. No need to proxy it through wikipedia. Foregins sites are unlikely to have wikipedia as w: interwiki and would want to use a different prefix anyway.
b) If the link already began with a colon, the resulting link has double colons w:commons::Image:Foo.jpg It is a functional link, but uglier.

Version: unspecified
Severity: trivial
