A way can be found, but there are multiple issues
to solve:
1) the name of the object may not be unique hence we may be unable to
satisfy Wikidata requirements on label/description uniqueness,
Wikidata does not require unique names.
Label are indeed unique but you can add as many alias as you want (see
french label on
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3533061 ). You just need to
choose a primary one, is it a problem ?
3) it must be fine to create items that contain
no information other than
the name;
No, this is not OK (and they may be deleted); but nor is it necessary.
Why on Earth would someone like to tell nothing but the name ?
A lot of properties are very easy to add (P31, P17, P1435, P131, etc.) ;
plus, there is some semi-automatic tools to to that « en masse ».
4) it must be
as easy to add coordinates to multiple items as it is
with an
on-wiki table;
Why?
Can't
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/quick_statements.php do that
? (QuickStatements is a wonderful tool but I struggle a little to use it to
its full extent).
6) it must be easy to publish new groups of items
on the go, because the
list is built gradually (and very slowly) as we get new authorisations;
It is.
7) there must be a way to automatically make an
on-wiki table of items by
region (currently I'm not even sure we can make an on-wiki table of
"municipalities of Emilia-Romagna" with Wikidata? let alone listing items
which have some connection to them through N levels of P31, P1435, P279
or
whatever);
This is, I believe, possible. For example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Daniel_Mietchen/Wikidata_lists/Items_wit…
is built by a bot.
