Due to the file captions work it will be useful to have the entity id (M + pageid) in the media response so that it's available if the user wants to edit a caption.

| Add Commons Wikibase entity IDs to media response | Mholloway | mediawiki/services/mobileapps | master | +91 -43 |
Here's why this is a bit more troublesome than one would think: the Commons entity IDs for files are based on their Commons page IDs, and for /page/media we make our imageinfo calls to the local Wikipedias and not Commons. We do this because Commons doesn't actually host all media files, but only the freely licensed ones. Fair-use media content is hosted directly on the wikis of projects that allow it. We can get imageinfo about all files used on a Wikipedia when querying it for imageinfo because Commons is searched as a fallback for files not hosted locally, but when querying Commons directly, there is no fallback. So just querying Commons in all cases won't work. (Also, note that because not all files are Commons-hosted, not every item will have a wb_entity_id when this is implemented.)
It won't be difficult to add a query to gather pageids and merge them into the endpoint response; it's just that /page/media is already painfully slow, and this will make it slower. Even that's probably not the end of the world; really, this is mostly just background for future reference.
Change 500145 had a related patch set uploaded (by Mholloway; owner: Michael Holloway):
[mediawiki/services/mobileapps@master] Add Commons Wikibase entity IDs to media response
It doesn't seem like data exists in the DB for many of the files yet... most that I have tried come up as missing: true.

It took a few tries but it's finally deployed now. See P8371 for the deployment issues yesterday.
