Hoi, The practice makes sense for Wiktionary. As a matter of fact I think I added quite a few with my bot. My point is not that it would not make sense, my point is that it does NOT easily connect to Wikidata. When a separate Wikibase is used for this ... fine. That makes sense. Thanks, GerardM

The interwiki links to Wiktionary are from an interwiki point of view EXTREMELY easy to do. The problem with those links is that they cannot be uniquely linked to existing items to Wikidata and thereby it becomes unrealistic to do it in a meaningful way at this time.
Wiktionary has one article for multiple lemmas in multiple languages and they are based on the way they are written NOT on being about a subject.
Would it be possible to ask the Wiktionary community to stop with this practice? I have never understood why is it done in the first place, never saw any benefit from it, nor known who came with the idea and why.
