That's the point of this ticket, to use the Commonscat property to generate interlinks. This would solve everyone's problem in a simple, elegant way.
The Wikidata folks are concerned about internal consistency, so they want Articles paired with Articles and Categories paired with Categories. That's fine, I understand their desire to be consistent. Everyone else, the other projects, are not interested in the way Wikidata organizes itself and just want the links to show up.
These two perspectives are not inherently mutually exclusive. The problem is that currently the only way to make interwiki links show up in the Commons category page is to add it to the site list which breaks symmetry.
Also, it should be noted that the solution I am proposing here is already half implemented. The commons category property is already being used to generate intewiki links, but it only generates them on one side of the equation.
If you add a commonscat property to a Wikidata item the interwiki link to that category will show up on the respective Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, whatever project article page. But the reverse is not true, those articles will not be listed as interwikis links on the Commons category page. See Kananur on Wikipedia and the corresponding Commons categoty on Konanur. Also notice how the "Wikidata Item" link in the Tools section of the sidebar only shows up on the Wikipedia page and not on the Commons category page. (If this goes forward that link should be added also)
I am not asking for anything new or revolutionary here, just that the current, existing functionality is implemented in full and not halfway as is currently happening. Thanks,
