Hoi.
The problem with Commons is that its categories will be largely redundant once Wikidata type technology will replace them, It will be just a question of having a query for the result that you want.. If you want to have fences in mauve, by all means, query for it but there may be the surprise that there are none.
Creating items for categories for Commons is imho an exercise in futility.. What is the point after all ? Having those categories may mean that we have a clue what queries are of interest..So when people add those categories, it is current best practice.
Thanks,
GerardM
