I think it is a problem of the WP community:
maybe they *don't* want those data in the WP page.
Of course, it's good to remind them about VIAF ids on WD, and ask why they
are not displayed.
On it.pedia, the VIAF is always visible (well, not too visible, up there
over the infobox), and the data are on WD.

That's a good question. I was also thinking about
the case of items that
have VIAF property, but the code is not shown on Wikipedia because the
related article lacks the template.
We can make a list of all items that have VIAF (and/or related
properties), then check which WP articles don't have an authority control
template, and just add it with a bot, so that it can recall the code from
Wikidata.

If I want the most current/accurate VIAF ids,
should I be looking at
Wikidata or Wikipedia?
When I look at the EN Wikipedia pages for these two topics:
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9094
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9095
both of which have property P214, the VIAF identifer, the second displays
the VIAF identifier, but the first doesn't and the one that does display
the identifier appears to be using information from the embedded
AuthorityControl template, not Wikidata.
My concern is that if the Wikidata VIAF data isn't being viewed/edit on
Wikipedia, it can easily be invisibly wrong like the infamous Persondata
template.
