Just FYI, I did a rough analysis of GLAM batch uploads and campaigns on commons recently and the numbers below for Wiki Loves Africa is slightly better than the average across the movement (~6.5-7% depending on what kind of batch you are looking at). Overall images on Commons, if not uploaded in targeted ways for use on content, have a significant underusage in batch projects. My theory is that this is because of how hard it is to use and search sets of files described with categories. Structured Data on Commons gives us a lot more tools for helping new users or less experienced users improve the discoverability of the images, and the SDC pilots: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/GLAM/Projects , give us a targeted way to look at different parts of encouraging discovery and reuse -- including a pilot designed to work with Wiki Loves Africa Images. In general, Commons has not been a good platform for encouraging reuse of content, even when it is high quality.
