I'm thinking it should be a combination of syntax in the page, but also in the "New Page create" page. That page now directs you to the new "Drafts" userspace, but I think it should direct you also to Wikidata. That page says this now on enwiki:

Before creating an article, please read Wikipedia:Your first article.
You can also search for an existing article to which you can redirect this title.
To experiment, please use the sandbox. To use a wizard to create an article, see the Article wizard.
When creating an article, provide references to reliable published sources. An article without references, especially a biography of a living person, may be deleted.
You can also start your new article at Special:Mypage/XXXXXX. There, you can develop the article with less risk of deletion, ask other editors to help work on it, and move it into "article space" when it is ready.

The question is not so much where to point it, but how to put it into the wiki syntax of the page.

Hoi,
The obvious is painful. When you need a placeholder... Why not use Reasonator? It is just a call to the Wikidata item that is associated with the page.
Thanks,

The advantage of a template is that it doesn't touch core and doesn't create new wiki syntax.

Maybe this template could be a Lua module built into the Wikibase Client extension, so it wouldn't have to be lamely synchronized across hundreds of projects?

I am also interested in solving this for the article placeholder feature where we show date from Wikidata when no local article exists.
We can't really just put the link to the non existent article into the Wikidata item because the article might be created and then cover a completely unrelated topic. We already have this problem with red links on Wikipedia but it would be even worse on Wikidata.
I think the way to go is to have the Wikidata identifier used in the link on the article. Question is how to do that nicely. I am happy to see the template experiment. Are people generally ok with the way it works?

Cheers
Lydia
