Not necessarily, a broad discussion with a majority agreeing on it can be enough.
I'm sorry, but your understanding of copyright is deeply flawed then. If I contribute a piece of text under CC-BY-SA to Wikipedia, Wikipedia has to ask me whether I'm willing to re-license that text under a different license. This can never be substituted by a majority decision, since I hold the rights to that text.
The solution to such a potential massive license violation on Wikidata cannot be to retroactively change the license of Wikipedia
Why not? It is definitely feasible.
It is most definitely not, and to me this is a deeply troubling approach to the problem of potential license violations on Wikidata.
there are many sources Wikidata uses which aren't CC-0 either
This should be examined on a case by case basis, there might not be that many issues.
Which is exactly what we are trying to do here. So far, there isn't even a clear picture as to whether imports from Wikipedia to Wikidata are legally problematic. It might very well be that they are fine.
