TASK DESCRIPTION

Many properties store links to pages on Commons and with exception of links to images all other links are stored as ''strings'' type. I would like to propose to create new ''Commons page'' property type which would store links to Commons pages. Alternative solution would be to expand ''Commons media file'' property type . This new property type would have internal Wikibase support similar to support of ''Commons media file'' type properties or sitelinks:

  • page name stored in some uniform format (categories starting with capital letter, spaces instead of underscores, etc.) which can be easily compared to sitelinks in SPARQL
  • do not allow links to non-existing pages
  • automatically handle pages which are deleted, redirected or moved.
  • page names would be displayed as links not through some _javascript_ postprocessing (which often does not work or requires several page purges), but through wikibase software

Current list of properties which would be than converted to the new type:
