Description

Task description:
Add a link "Move to Commons" to the tab bar, when the page is a "real" wikipedia file page, i.e. the page of an image that is really just on Wikipedia, not on Commons.

When the link is clicked, the file is moved to Commons with the Commons extension of T146666.

That looks pretty good to me. What I wonder about: is it "allowed" to hook in the tabs? In case we don't know, where could we find out?

Is it technically possible? Sure

Note: it would most likely actually be in this lovely dropdown.

@Lea_WMDE I think this task can be marked resolved?
Or will it be marked once it get out of beta?

@eranroz I would close it once it is out of beta, so that it is really really done :)
