Hello all,

one early question we are currently debating is how to store Wikitext documentation alongside with the structured data?

So, the label of the page and aliases and the actual content object are stored as JSON, but then we would like to have the documentation be more or less normal wikitext.
(...)
The text "en:Multiplication is a mathematical operation that...", that's just wikitext. And it is different per language.
(...)

So, if I get it right, that wikitext is basically the equivalent of a Wikidata item description. Allow me to play dumb ("play"... heh), and ask: do we really need that description to be wikitext or do we want it to be similar to a Wikidata item description (i.e. similar to a caption)?
