What I tried to say is: we don't mind if we go back in a page history and find a red link to a template, nobody cares, because we all know that a template has been deleted/substituted *for a reason* - that we even discussed for a VERY long time. What we DO care is that the article has *right now* the correct data - and this will be easier with Wikidata. I wouldn't have been its main sponsor in it.wp, if it wasn't for this.
When I look in the history, I want to see the data which where used then : there are the correct data of this history context. The "current" page may be automaticaly edited to match the current wikidata entries it refers to, but this changes should appears in the history, just like it's done with bots.
So, no, I don't care that the last revision of an article uses the "correct data", because "correct data" is an ambiguous term. What I hope to see, is that the last revision article uses the last revision of the wikidata entries it needs; or at least the value it had the last time that a commit was made to update this value. And when I look in the history, I want to see the value that the article used to use then. Otherwise it would be history counterfeiting.
Ok, I give up. Ask the devs to solve this problem, open a bug about it, whatever.
For the records I *do not* see as a problem as of now, since IMVHO we've got other priorities to deal with - first of all: filling the items with statements, and possibly completing the statements with sources, in order to make the data on Wikidata usable on Wikipedia.
