Wanted to also add that I understand:
There are bots that
- Harvest new articles
- Add items for new articles
- Harvest authority control data
This is for casual Wikipedians -- especially librarians who like Authority control and are creating stubs at editathons -- to start to learn how to create a linked entry and edit Authority control on Wikidata. Something quick and sequential so they might get an overview and translation of the cross-walk between Wikipedia and Wikidata.
Gerard M. and I had an off list conversation about this and he thinks it is not a valuable effort (see bots above). So that's why I wanted to mention this usage.
Also when I want to have the new Wikipedia stub have the Authority control, I can never use the steps. I am old and tired and need everything written down. :-)
