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

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.
