Hey, that might be partly correct. However, both pages which I edited do have Wikipedia articles connected. The description is shown as short summary of the idea behind the object on various places (e.g., Commons search). “Wikimedia compound page” might be an internal information but isn't useful for other users which likely see that even more often than internals. Since I do not want to start an edit war, I'm asking you to help me find a solution for both requirements. A comma? “Wikimedia compound page about XYZ”?

Hello!
Just to provide context for any future readers: pages in question are floor exercise (Q828144) and still rings (Q655318).
I also have no intention of edit warring here, I'm primarily a Wikidata contributor so was considering the description from a Wikidata centric point of view where is it useful for the description to clearly mark the item as intended to be a compound page.
As for resolution, this is a classic and long-standing problem (described at Help:Modelling/Wikipedia_and_Wikimedia_concepts#Compound_Wikipedia_articles) which I admit I don't fully have the answer to. In an ideal world I suppose the commons category would be linked to the item specifically for the event since it seems to be representing that over the apparatus itself, but I'm guessing that would break the direct link from commons to other wikis?
Perhaps, as you suggest, a description "compound page about the event and the apparatus" would be best. We may also get more experienced suggestions if asked at project chat.
Thanks for the hints. I was pretty sure that it was discussed before. I'll read through that when I find a bit of time and do as suggested. Best!
