Just a bit of info on why I've nominated this for the 2020 hackthon: There is currently a major issue with storing statistical data in Wikidata, which would be solved if we could upload the data to Commons as Tabular Data files. It's proving unsustainable to use qualifiers to break down statistical data by date, let alone using any further breakdown (e.g. gender or age group). Items which need to store such data (e.g. countries) end up far too cluttered with statements so we simply have to choose not to keep historical data or any further breakdown. We can currently store the tabular data on Commons, but without being able to query it alongside data in Wikidata it has a tiny fraction of the value. Using UNESCO and World Bank data for example, we would be able to generate charts like (Percentage of Primary age girls out of school in Algeria since 1970). Obviously that is just one example in one domain, the possibilities are truly endless!!
