Forgive me, but at the 2014 WikiCon in Cologne, I saw a talk that would see
Wiktionary converted to a separate wikibase installation, collapsing all
the wikitionary languages into items. THAT could reasonably be linked to
Wikidata, or "just" cross-references via properties.
Trying to wedge the current links into Wikidata seems like a failing
proposition.

Hi Denny,
I would strongly advise against connecting Wiktionary to Wikidata in the
status quo, mainly for the reasons Gerard summarized.
While wikt's 'data model' probably makes sense for a spelling-based
dictionary, it does not for a concept-based knowledge base like ours.
Even turning Wiktionary into an OmegaWiki
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/OmegaWiki>-like project seems unlikely
feasible without an intermediate step.
Let's focus on Commons, OpenStreetMap, queries, arbitrary access, new
datatypes?

It is rather clear that everyone wants Wikidata to also support
Wiktionary, and there have been plenty of proposals in the last few years.
I think that the latest proposals are sufficiently similar to go for the
next step: a break down of the tasks needed to get this done.
Currently, the idea of having Wikidata supporting Wiktionary is stalled
because it is regarded as a large monolithic task, and as such it is hard
to plan and commit to. I tried to come up with a task break-down, and
discussed it with Lydia and Daniel, and now, as said in the last office
hour, here it is for discussion and community input.

I think it would be really awesome if we would start moving in this
direction. Wiktionary supported by Wikidata could quickly become one of the
crucial pieces of infrastructure for the Web as a whole, but in particular
for Wikipedia and its future development.
Cheers,
Denny
