One other solution could be to allow to associate
items to yet non
existing articles to "reserve" them, allow redlinks into the Wikidata
interwiki list ?
This is something I've been wondering about as well. Once {{bio}} on
it.wiki fetches data from Wikidata (sorry, always the same example!), I
could produce a decent stub just by pasting "{{bio}}" in a red link,
(preview and) continue from there.
Currently, however, I'd have to create a placeholder page, associate it
to the Wikidata item, see what happened, continue from there; or pretend
Wikidata doesn't exist, do useless manual business as usual, let a bot
clean up the excess work.
A middle way is to let me associate the page *while* creating it, so
that I can preview.
