Motivation edit
This property already exists as P3722 (P3722), but it was proposed and created as a string rather than an item property. Other properties like this one have been created as item properties, such as category for people born here (P1464), category for recipients of this award (P2517), category for the interior of the item (P7561) and category for ship name (P7782), and I think it would be good to migrate this property over, creating new category items as needed. As well as automatically updating when Commons categories are renamed (rather than requiring strings to be manually/bot-updated), it will also be useful to show metadata in the Commons categories through the infobox. I asked about this at Property_talk:P3722 back in September, with no opposition, hence this proposal.
