As I already pointed out in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87336 this is 
not really a good idea from the copyright point of view, because..

- pageimages belong to the language versions of wikipedia and therefore need to 
obey the local copyright laws..
- while WikiData seems to be based on US-copyright alone.

And since we do have a lot of stuff on Commons that is PD only in some 
countries, the suggested implementation of taking the pageimages directly from 
WikiData, would result in copyright violations.
