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?
I agree with what Gerard wrote. We should be moving away from a world
where information is entered on Wikipedia and then in addition on
Wikidata. We need to move to a world where information is added in
Wikidata and then used on Wikipedia. Otherwise the whole idea of
Wikidata is kinda moot. It will not happen tomorrow and need more work
but this is where we should be going and I'd rather we didn't take
steps that drag this process out even longer.
