It would still suck, as it's duplicating descriptions rather than having a single place that the descriptions are updated at, and I expect that it would be opposed for that reason. But if you would support it, then I can write it up and propose it. > > It would suck, but its better than two different and diverging sources. We would need a way to tell the bot to skip certain items though... It still means that we maintain two separate databases containing what should be the same information. Telling a bot to skip certain items is a key problem, but not the only one, we still have to figure out how to automatically resolve arguments that arise between an editor on enwp and an editor on wikidata, or have some sort of mediation page.
