IMHO the following things need to happen before a large-scale roll-out: - A discussion needs to happen with the Wikidata community. I will handle this now. - Description editing needs to be tested on a small scale to gauge impact. (Ideally with a kill-switch in case vandalism is too bad.) Since it is already developed for Android I suggest communicating this to the Wikidata community and rolling it out. Evaluate the impact. - If that works well roll it out further on other platforms. Other things to keep in mind: - Someone need to figure out the interaction when editing a description that has "hidden" parts. What happens when it goes over the length limit for example? - I advice against rolling out Wikidata descriptions further without them being editable. Wikidata already got quite a reputation hit because of this. - As I said earlier the stripping should imho happen on the consumer side as it is specific to the usecase of Wikipedia based on convention in Wikidata. Other Wikibase installations could have different conventions so hardcoding that in Wikibase seems bad.
