Community Wishlist/Focus areas/Better stitching between Commons and other projects

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
Better stitching between Commons and other projects Submitted

Description

Volunteers expressed interest in improving the connection between Wikimedia Commons and other projects.

Volunteers expressed interest in improving the connection between Wikimedia Commons and other projects, with requests to use Commons data across different wikis; create more direct paths between Wikipedia and Commons (shortcut for images on Wikipedia to Commons, file info to open Wikimedia Commons directly); and to use Wikidata to suggest images for Wikipedia articles across languages.

Going beyond the Wikimedia projects, there was also a suggestion to facilitate video transfer from YouTube to Commons.
