Personally I see several challenges but also opportunities for WLM.
Technically this is a "change" to be managed. If it is managed in a right manner, it could open a new season for WLM.
As I know the data of monuments are not homogeneous and this is a risk for migrating data to a dedicated repository to Wikidata.
It has been a problem for the first WLM contests too.
IMHO the time is short, and I see as a dream the possibility to run an international contest AND to manage the import in WIkidata.

Hi all, I guess everyoe knows by now that the erfgoedbot will no longer work. Meanwhile, we should be migrating the entire infrastructure to Wikidata to enable the next generation of tooling. So for example, if your country has legislation regarding the protection of industrial monuments, then I expect that all large industrial complexes (such as the first airport, or the first steam-powered mill complex, or something like that) should reflect this infrastructure. So such wikipedia articles should be labelled " instance of" <the name of your identifier used in WLM>. This identifier of the form " German industrial heritage site", aka "Industriedenkmal https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industriedenkmal" should be a subclass of Industrial Heritage Site, because it is not equivalent to industrial heritage sites anywhere else in the world. I see that this is not reflected yet in Q1569871
I didn't see this discussion anywhere and I tried to get this infrastructure started before the birth of Wikidata, but we really should finish the job now. Jane
