Wanted to also add that I understand:
There are bots that
- Harvest new articles
- Add items for new articles
- Harvest authority control data
This is for casual Wikipedians -- especially librarians who like Authority
control and are creating stubs at editathons -- to start to learn how to
create a linked entry and edit Authority control on Wikidata. Something
quick and sequential so they might get an overview and translation of the
cross-walk between Wikipedia and Wikidata.
Gerard M. and I had an off list conversation about this and he thinks it is
not a valuable effort (see bots above). So that's why I wanted to mention
this usage.
Also when I want to have the new Wikipedia stub have the Authority control,
I can never use the steps. I am old and tired and need everything written
down. :-)

I created a pretty rough, but hopefully still usable,
help page for
manually inputting and moving Authority control metadata from Wikipedia to
Wikidata for new pages that have no associated Wikidata item.

Wasn't sure if it is okay to create a page on Wikidata, but I followed the
Be Bold! mantra and just went for it.
And again this is not the most elegant solution, but I wanted there to be
some sort of graphic documentation on how to update Authority Control.
Best,
