For links to 
Wikimedia Commons.
Link to the (highest-level applicable) object-specific category where available, otherwise, a specific image. Do not link to more generic categories such as "churches in Birmingham".
e.g. use:
wikimedia_commons=Category:St Paul, Birmingham
or for an element without its own Commons category (like 
1675253168 (XML, iD, JOSM, Potlatch2, history))
wikimedia_commons=File:Bicycle crossing, Poland, Kraków, Josepha Conrada.JPG
Wikidata
Where possible, you may also add an wikidata=* tag. See Wikidata's notability guidelines. Anything having a Commons Category (not just a file) satisfies the notability criteria and is allowed to have a Wikidata entry.
Some people are fond of the key wikimedia_commons=* because it uses human-readable values, but on the other hand, it can be redundant to add both keys, because Wikidata itself often links to Wikimedia Commons. There is no consensus yet whether wikidata=* should replace or coexist with the wikimedia_commons=* tag.
