--- Comment #18 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> ---
Wikidata does not (at least in its current form, which I believe is by design)
work well for metadata that is functionally determined by the main data (the
actual page in question). As it stands, ?action=info is the only unified place
we currently have for displaying functionally dependent metadata, so it would
make sense to display that information there, should the feature request be
implemented.

Wikidata could come into this if wiktionary abandoned the whole raw page
approach, and used wikidata for recording their content exclusively (kind of
like OmegaWiki). In that case this type of information would be a query on
wikidata type data, which would make it in scope of wikidata. I feel like
that's probably not going to happen.

The other scenario where I could see Wikidata coming into this, is if they
expanded from their Wikidata -> client wikis, model, and made the data flow go
both ways (to include automatically extracting properties from client wikis).
That would add a lot of complications to everything, and expand wikidata's
scope significantly. I have not heard anyone say they have plans to do anything
like that, but I'm not quite up on latest goings-on in the Wikidata dev
community (I'm sure someone can correct me if I'm wrong)

(Intentionally avoiding commenting on the core content of comment 16 as I don't
want to be drawn into any dispute that may be happening)
