My dream solution for some of those issues with integration of Wikipedia and Wikidata is letting people edit Wikidata without leaving Wikipedia (or Wikivoyage, or whatever).
This is not quite a dream, for sitelinks. We already have an in-place dialog for adding sitelinks: mysteriously, when there is already a sitelink, the dialog is replaced by a frustrating link to the Wikidata item, which requires an entire page load and countless clicks.
The issue with doing this when there are several sitelinks is that people will unknowingly merge items this way that should not be merged. That'd be a huge pita. We'll need to put some good thinking into this still. I have no good solution right now.
This should be very easy to change. The dialog could then contain a link to the Wikidata item for the case when one wants to edit or remove links, until such a feature is added to the dialog itself.
Showing the dialog and requiring people to click would probably annoy people for having to click one additional time? Especially if their intention is clear.
