I've noticed that a number of EN Wikipedia articles are starting to use wikidata e.g. all of these templates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Templates_using_data_from_Wikidata
This is great, and I have already started trying to encourage more of this in the areas we are working on (genes, drugs, diseases). But concerns raised more than 2 years ago now still seem very valid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikidata/Workflow
I'm particularly concerned about the edit button. When a Wikipedia user hits edit on an article built using wikidata content, how are they
supposed
to edit the wikidata content? Obviously the well-informed can sort out which wikidata item is relevant and which properties are being used and go to edit at wikidata.. but this can't be the solution.
What is the status of this issue ?
We'll have a student starting next month researching the topic. She'll write her bachelor thesis on it. You can track it at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T103092
