I ask Wiktionary contributors on this list to look at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wiktionary and
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wiktionary_%28alternative_proposal%29
and comment on their talk pages.
"From before the start of the Wikidata project .... it became obvious
very early that Wiktionary would be one of the projects that would
benefit most – but be at the same time one of the more complicated
projects to support....
"To make it very explicit: this is not a plan to replace Wiktionary, but
rather to provide a first step towards supporting some of the structured
data already in the Wiktionaries. The goal is to reduce the maintenance
effort of the Wiktionary projects, and to enable the different language
editions of Wiktionary to share some structured data if they want so, in
decisions that would be done from entry to entry. Wiktionary, as it is,
provides a flexibility which goes well beyond what we aim to cover with
this proposal."
