No one has ever suggested for Wikidata to create articles.
OK; then I misunderstood "and generate the article on the fly"..
So to make sure that I understand this correctly, this is the idea:
- Let's say I search on the lojban Wikipedia for Creagerstown, Maryland
- The article doesn't exist, but Wikidata has information on it.
- I'm told the article doesn't exist, but presented with a template showing when
the town was founded etc. along with search results
Yes, exactly. Though depending on what the community wants you don't even have to be told that the article doesn't exist. And I assume the template would be human-readable, like aforementioned http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bl%C3%A5vit_svala
Would they be able to make use of that template if they wanted to quickly throw together a stub on the topic?
Yes, they could use http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Creating_pages_with_preloaded_text
