Truly wonderful.  And the underlying tools have been useful even more
widely... thank you for sharing the milestone.

Woh! Congratulations to you and everyone who helped make this
happen to improve Commons.
As for are there other wikis who use more:
https://wmdeanalytics.wmflabs.org/WD_percentUsageDashboard/ says
cebuano, english and swedish have more articles in the main namespace
still that make some use of Wikidata's data - not necessarily
infoboxes. Also keep in mind that the number for Commons doesn't take
into account the category namespace so the numbers are significantly
too low.


Cheers
Lydia
