I have been helping with the backlog of "Article for Creation"
requests on en.Wikipedia.
It occurs to me that in doing so I often supply enough data to start a
Wikidata entry (or, at least, to pre-populate one for further editing
before saving).
Please see :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creat…
for more on this; help from a coder would be useful.
Something for the hackathon, perhaps?
