Change the way IHM-uploaded images are tagged in OSM about site HOT 3 OPEN

When there are several images, a Wikimedia Commons Category can be used: wikimedia_commons=Category:Eiffel Tower

Who will create these categories? What happens to places that don't have a name?

Besides the above, there's a need to open a bulk edit announcement in the OSM forum.

I'm good with this idea as long as we solve the above issues.

Who will create these categories?

If we can do that through the API, and if it would simplify the handling of multiple images, we may create the categories ourselves. BTW, there is already a Category:Israel Hiking Map

What happens to places that don't have a name?

I believe there is already a mechanism that sets the image names. That need not change.
For example: File: IHM Cave*

Besides the above, there's a need to open a bulk edit announcement in the OSM forum.

IMHO, this is optional, assuming we will want to continue and use image* tags that were or will be added to OSM by means other than IHM.

This is already supported for image*=File:xxx.png as can be seen here:

In theory, we may remove the code that translates the file name to an image url here:
