Hi,
We have tried it, but didn't work as in a small community this isn't
doable.

Hi Romaine,
Having bots that list tasks that need doing is a great way to get things
done. But you need to think carefully who you target this work at. We do
have bots that tell editors when they've linked an article to a
disambiguation page, there is some logic in that as the person who added
the information is more likely to understand it and know which other
article it really should be added to. But for general gnomish work like
categorisation adding wikilinks and now migrating to wikidata, better I
suggest to create some category and try to recruit gnomes to do that work
en masse. Someone who creates a few dozen articles might not fancy learning
about wikidata, but a gnome who specialises in it might do many times that
amount of migration.
Remember the essence of crowd sourcing is to get lots of people to take on
the parts of the task that they want to do.

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

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:

Thanks!
