[Tagging] Commons: mixed purposes

It seems that people are using "commons=" for two different purposes:

  http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/commons#values

physical things that are freely available for common usage; like
bicycle pumps and community gardens, but also links to Wikimedia
Commons.

How should we resolve this? What should we sue to link to Wikimedia
commons categories like:

   https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:St_Paul,_Birmingham

I've previously used Wikimedia_Commons=, but that's verbose; and I
seem to be alone in doing so.
