OK, now I get the picture! Although I wonder about the placeholders' use case 
if the information is not available instantly but after visiting a separate 
page first. The placeholder is basically mirroring the Wikidata page where it 
would be a good chance to make users directly aware of and get in touch with 
Wikidata which would be just one click away either. Of course Wikidata's major 
problem in that context is the UI but I wonder why not rather put some power 
into that.

Anyway, just making another suggestion:
F2367697: articlePlaceholder2.png <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F2367697> 
The major constraint is indeed the MediaWiki page structure. I guess we cannot 
really alter the heading. Consequently, the hint about the page being an 
article placeholder needs to be below the heading section.
Personally, as long as references are to be displayed, I would not opt for 
putting property name and value next to each other on the same line like it is 
done in Wikibase at the moment. But if you are, of course, just including one 
single value for a property, that would be an option as well. External ids are 
pretty straight forward I guess and do not have/need any reference. Emulating 
an info box like in your screen shot is reasonable.
