I've noticed that a number of EN Wikipedia articles are starting to use
wikidata e.g. all of these templates:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Templates_using_data_from_Wikidata

This is great, and I have already started trying to encourage more of this
in the areas we are working on (genes, drugs, diseases).  But concerns
raised more than 2 years ago now still seem very valid:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikidata/Workflow

I'm particularly concerned about the edit button.  When a Wikipedia user
hits edit on an article built using wikidata content, how are they supposed
to edit the wikidata content?  Obviously the well-informed can sort out
which wikidata item is relevant and which properties are being used and go
to edit at wikidata.. but this can't be the solution.

What is the status of this issue ?

thanks very much
-Ben
