Rationale
Unlike most other wikis, media files in commons have very few options to connect media files with each other and add structured data. Because categories are used for this purpose here, they have much more importance on commons than in most other wikis. Surprisingly, so far there are very little rules and regulations about categorizing on commons, while most discussions and edit wars are centred around this issue.
