@RexxS you do bring up a valid point about watchlist. The minor difference here is that lexeme is tied to a specific language, so it is less likely to have content not relevant to that one language / wiktionary. The only exception might be the description of sensese in other languages. TBH, I am not sure that adding sense description in a non-native language is a scalable solution -- we are repeating the issue of sitelinks, where every wiki page referenced all other wiki pages on the same subject. But this is a separate discussion, unrelated to this ticket. Performance-wise, there is not much difference -- lexemes are not attached (yet) to wiktionary pages, the way wikidata item are attached with their sitelinks, so every lexeme retrieval will be "expensive". On the other hand, getting just a handful (at most) lexemes per wiktionary page should not affect performance in a significant way. And since most of the content will be relevant to the page generation, having multiple calls might actually be slower than rendering a large chunk of page in a single template with a module, where that module would get the whole lexeme content. Lastly, we could always optimize the process, but remember that having a simple interface to get the entire lexeme is far quicker to implement than to have a very complex system - so at the end it might be better, but in the mean time you won't have it for several years (?), and you may need to allocate resources to this project at an expense of another project.
