I agree with what Gerard wrote.
Then please see my response to him.
We should be moving away from a world where information is entered on Wikipedia and then in addition on Wikidata. We need to move to a world where information is added in Wikidata and then used on Wikipedia.
I'd love to know how you think that will happen, in a timely manner, for the kinds of people who use AfC,
Otherwise the whole idea ofther t Wikidata is kinda moot. It will not happen tomorrow and need more work but this is where we should be going and I'd rather we didn't take steps that drag this process out even longer.
Meanwhile, articles are being created, daily, via AfC with no Wikidata equivalent, or where someone has to create the equivalent manually, cutting-and-pasting or retyping text, rather than having tools do the work for them. That's crazy.
