Generally new contributors to Wiki**p**edia are unaware that other language versions exist. However, if they are aware of that, and if they care how other languages perceive their data, they are welcome to contribute their data on Wikidata. If Wiki**p**edians want to make use of Wikidata in articles, they can use that data by copying the data or by using Lua templates available on Wiki**p**edia that have enabled the use of Wikidata. If Wiki**p**edians want to contribute to Wikidata, they need to provide more data than just a label. Item creations that only contain a label are generally deleted. Currently there are bots that add more data to Wikidata from Wiki**p**edia articles that are only linked with a label+sitelink. Those bots make use of Wikip**p**edia infoboxes and categories to do their work, but these are just two things that Wiki**p**edia redirects lack. Redirects lack the rest of the Wiki**p**edia article too. So in your vision, how could the wikidata item for a redirect get more data than label+sitelink? Are you envisioning things like categories and infoboxes for redirects on Wiki**p**edia?
