“en:Victor Hugo” is an interesting idea that I don’t remember being proposed 
before… though it has the problem that `en:` is ambiguous between English 
Wikipedia, English Wikibooks, English Wikisource, etc. (which isn’t a problem 
for `commons:`).
  
  Commons would have a different problem: `commons:` is specifically for 
filenames (the values of Commons media statements).
  
  More generally, I don't think we should use something which looks like an RDF 
prefix unless it actually is a defined RDF prefix. `commons:` is already 
confusing for me, I keep trying to do things like `replace(str(?image), 
str(commons:), "")` to remove the prefix and get the actual value of the 
statement, which fails because `commons:` isn't a real prefix.
  
  Making use of prefixes would be useful though. If it used the prefixes which 
have been defined when displaying results, then people could define any they 
want. It would be really useful for federated queries too (e.g. the first link 
under "World" on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Nikki/TGN defines `tgn:` 
but the results still display the full URI)
