Hoi, The practice makes sense for Wiktionary. As a matter of fact I think I added quite a few with my bot. My point is not that it would not make sense, my point is that it does NOT easily connect to Wikidata. When a separate Wikibase is used for this ... fine. That makes sense. Thanks,

What you get on a Wiktionary page is a description of words in several languages with that particular spelling. Of course 1 spelling can also be several words in 1 language already. It's at the level of the definition that one can link to the current Wikidata. Provided Wikidata wants to have

It is of limited value (as Gerard explained) to do major work on Wiktionary. Wiktionary articles could be transferred to the structured data in the similar way like Wikipedia articles, with a lot of trouble. Thus not the most optimal solution. What makes sense is to incorporate OmegaWiki logic

BTW, Daniel, there are standardized templates for real interwiki links (links to the entries with the same meaning in other languages on the same Wiktionary). It makes sense that Wikidata creates a db for that. Though, it isn't trivial and assumes meanings. Though, it seems to me reasonably
