My view on InterWiki links on categories

• In my opinion the interwiki links should go from article to article and from category to category. In the absence of a prefered link alternative links of articles to categories (or vice versa) are perfectly acceptable. I have started a few main category links like Category:Fundamental and Category:Science and links back too.
• I even thought of an wikiprogram update that interwiki links from wikipedia to commons (and other wikimedia) should be exactly the same as interwiki links in wikipedia. Example:

(en:)Categroy:Fundamental would have interwiki links like:

[[de:Kategorie:!Hauptkategorie]]

[[fr:Catégorie:Principale]] and also

[[commons:Category:Fundamental]]

In that way the interwikilinks to commons are more easily maintained thoughout wikipedia (and other wikimedia). Currently the links back are by using templates like {commons} or {commonscat}. Placing these in the right position, with different layouts and parameters makes this a tedious job.
