Often I see or make additions to articles & then see hidden categories like Official Website not in Wikidata or Coordinates not in Wikidata, or the Authority Control data is in Wikidata but it has an LCCN parameter added in the template in Wikipedia. Are there any semi-automated tools that would facilitate moving such data into Wikidata when we encounter these things? How can we improve the workflow to aid the transfer of this data?
Yours, Peaceray

Hi all,
I think it is time for the next step in the Wikidata development: a better integration in Wikipedia and her sisterprojects.
Every day thousands of articles are created, and many of those are not added to Wikidata, even while often an item about this subject exists. Users forget to add a newly created article to Wikidata as there is no stimulus at all. The next step in Wikidata development is that after the creation of an article, users get a message (pop-up, or screen, etc) in what they are asked to add the article/category to Wikidata. In the first stage this can be just a pop-up with a message. But it would be better if this can be a message + some help to do this, so that users can stay in Wikipedia (or another project), without having to go to Wikidata.
A further step that can be developed after is the suggestion of properties (if missing), like instance of, and based on this entry further properties.
This will make sure that there is a better integration of Wikipedia and her sister projects with Wikidata through this workflow.
For this I created a Phabricator task at: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T117070
Thanks!
