Description
MediaWiki supports a tabular data format that can hold some metadata. It would make sense to ease the export to that format and upload to Wikimedia Commons.

Research direction

Done means a Tabular JSON exporter exists, with the optional follow-up adding a Wikimedia Commons upload wizard for the Wikidata extension.
