Doesn't seem to be en.wiki-related, so I'll reply here: "normal users" are not able to edit infoboxes anyway, so Wikidata is the first step to make infobox data more easily editable: we're already seeing this with interwiki links (except for Commons, whose situation worsened because it's outside the circle). There was a time when we thought Semantic MediaWiki with its forms (or other hacky forms) were the way, but probably Wikidata will be serving this purpose too.
