Hoi,
Please understand that for every label for a current item in Wikidata there
should be one lexeme. It would be really helpful when all the new lexemes
added are associated with labels. You will then be able to show an item
with the conjugation as is preferred for a language.Currently this is not
our practise.
When we associate labels with lexemes, we have in fact the missing
functionality like indicating that a specific lexeme was preferred up to a
point. It allows for people to understand where "Batavia" was and why you
will not find "Jakarta" in certain papers.
Thanks,
GerardM

*- How wikidata and wiktionary databases will be synchronized?*
New entity types will be created in Wikidata database, with new ids (ex. L
for lexemes). A Wiktionary will have the possibility to include data from
Wikidata in their pages (the complete entity or only some chosen
statements, as the community decides)
The pdf mentions 4 new entity types: Lexeme, Statement, Form, Embedded
(?). Curious, was the existing data model not flexible enough?
Will these new entities be restricted to the usage in a lexicographical
context, i.e. Wiktionary? How will they fit into the existing data model,
will there be links from existing Wikidata items to the new entities? (i.e.
how will Wikidata benefit from the new data?)
*- Will editing wiktionary change?*
Yes, changes will happen, but we're working on making editing Wiktionary
easier. Soon as we can provide some mockups, we will share them with you
for collecting feedbacks.
Making contributing to Wiktionary easier will be a huge help. Right now
the learning curve is extremely steep, and turning away potential
contributors.
One thing to keep in mind is that Wiktionary is more than just the content
in the page namespace. A big part of what you see is actually generated
dynamically, for example transliteration, pronunciation and grammatical
forms (conjugations, plurals etc).
I imagine in an integrated Wikidata/Wiktionary world "content" and code
lives in various places, and we'll have a range of automated processes to
copy things back and forth, and to automatically create new entries derived
from existing ones?
