Hi,
will this be implemented? Sounds like a reasonable feature to me... Maybe it could be actually prohibited to locally specify (or actually override) a name of Wikidata item in certain Wwikidata viewing language if that item has Wikipedia link in that particular language... We could save a lot of editing work like this and resolve name differencies, am I right?

There are bots doing that already. There is currently no plan to do this automagically in the software itself.

Why are there no such plans? Was there any discussion going on about this issue?
