In my experience the Wikidata team has been extremely professional and amazingly productive, both in the quality and quantity of their creations. I was honestly surprised that it's possible to get something Wikimedia-related done that quickly. Lydia and everyone - great job :)
Thank you :)
I see no cowboy attitude here. As pointed out, this was already tested on multiple wikis, some only a little smaller than enwiki. While the software is not entirely complete yet, this seems mostly by design (phase III, anyone?). It certainly works, and it's certainly good enough for wider deployment. There are some important bugs to iron out (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44874 comes to mind), but they're not really blockers, and I think (and hope!) they're being worked on.
Yes. We're aware of things that are still missing and they're on the plan.
Wiki design 101 is that nobody gets sent to another page/website/etc to edit content on the Wikipedia. (Even clicking on an image that is held on Commons takes people to a Wikipedia page for the image, and then gives them the choice to go to Commons.)
But you do need to go to Commons to, say, upload a different version of it. Wiki editing 101 for you.
And I think this was being worked on for language links, anyway. Lydia, is there a bug for that? ;)
Yes. There is https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40949 for example which is for connecting an article that has no language links yet for example and should go into production soon. (This one will not take care of editing existing links yet.)
Cheers Lydia
