I mean, in simple words:
Your idea: when the data on wikidata is changed the new content is pushed to all local wikis / somewhere
My idea: local wikis retrieve data from wikidata db directly, no need to push anything on change
Well, the local wiki still needs to notice that something changed on wikidata. That would require some sort of push, even if that push is just a purge. So this would mean pushing *and* pulling, which makes things more complex instead of simpler. Or am I missing something?
Alternatively, once could poll for changes regularly. That's a ton of overhead, though: the majority of pages will need to be kept in sync with wikidata, because they have at least their languagelinks there.
