User:Vlsergey from ruwiki presented yesterday at the Wikidata Meetup a new wonderful infobox editor for Wikipedia infoboxes:

And also an improved authority template which you can see in action at Obama

Plus some interfaces for editing person info, taxons, and work/edition source info:

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.
