This proposal is my greatest fear with Wikidata. Depreciate Infoboxes to Wikidata so casual Wikipedia editors can't edit on Wiki, are forced to use Wikidata (comparable to existing Authority Control depreciation). Huge barrier for Wikipedia end-users. Before I voice my concerns on this Grant page, I wondered if the end-user issue has been discussed here -- and if this could be explained why it is such a good idea? And what user issues have been and could be addressed before the project is implemented. I understand something like this is part of Russian Wikipedia. How did that community respond to this what I see as significant change? - Erika
