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.
