I read about the AfC process and the technical requirements are the same, just the packaging changes (input forms and step-by-step info request). Yes, you could place the data on article creation on the Wikidata item, but still it would be unconnected to the wp page. If later on you would edit the data either on wp or on wd, that wouldn't have any effect on each other unless you adapt the infobox template for that. And even if you moved the template to Lua to fetch the data from wd, then you wouldn't be able to edit that data easily from WP.

Please, don't get me wrong, AfC is a good tool for new users, and it should become something global and connected with Wikidata, but the effort of doing it now wouldn't bring that many benefits, and it would probably have to change when the system gets more mature. Still, if you or somebody else thinks different and wants to do it, why not?

 

En.wp is not my main wp but I'll give it a shot :)

Thanks,
