By your own numbers, there are over 80000 image=* tags containing links to Commons. That makes it the most popular key for images on Commons at the moment. I don't think there's an established consensus for deprecating this tagging style. Because I haven't seen convincing arguments to replace image=* with one key per hosting platform, I would instead favour doing the opposite: * Deprecate wikimedia_commons=* (because it unhelpfully mixes links to categories, images, and other media types – I agree that's an issue) * Move category links to commons_category=* * Move image links to image=* In summary: We first need a consensus how links to Commons should be tagged. Then we can use an automated edit to standardize the tagging. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
