I think these are great improvements for editing wikidata from wikipedia
and I hope you can spread the word in your local wikis about these
wonderful tools.
This is really interesting, thank you!
I wonder how much of this could be integrated into VisualEditor (possibly
as a "page settings" panel?), and/or into its own tab rather than as being
stuffed into the "page tools" box where it doesn't really belong.
I'd also be interested in thoughts from fellow Wikiwranglers
("Wikidata-ians") of the effect of making these edits really easy without
also making the feedback loop of community comment and policy expecations
clear.
