Hello, Thanks a lot for your questions and feedbacks. Here are some answers, I hope these will be useful.
*- How wikidata and wiktionary databases will be synchronized?* New entity types will be created in Wikidata database, with new ids (ex. L for lexemes). A Wiktionary will have the possibility to include data from Wikidata in their pages (the complete entity or only some chosen statements, as the community decides) *- Will editing wiktionary change?* Yes, changes will happen, but we're working on making editing Wiktionary easier. Soon as we can provide some mockups, we will share them with you for collecting feedbacks. *- Will bots be allowed/able to edit wiktionary pages after the support of wikidata in wiktionary?* Yes, of course, we want the data to be machine-readable and editable, and with the new structure, bots will be able to edit data stored in Wikidata and still Wiktionary pages. *- Can an edit in a wiktionary A break wiktionary B?* Data about lexemes will be stored on Wikidata, and Wiktionaries will choose if they want to use this data, which part of it and how. Yes, if an information stored in Wikidata and displayed on several Wiktionaries is modified, via Wikidata or a Wiktionary interface, this will affect all the pages where the information is included. Because Wikidata is a multilingual project, we already have to deal with the language issue, and we hope that with the increase of the numbers of editors coming from Wikidata and Wiktionaries, it will become easier to find people with at least one common language to communicate between the different projects. *- What else can provide wikidata to wiktionary?* Machine-readable data will allow users to create new tools, useful for editors, based on the communities' needs. By helping the different communities (Wiktionaries and Wikidata) working together on the same project, we expect a growth of the number of people editing the lexicographical data, providing more review and a better quality of the data. Finally, when centralized and structured, the data will be easily reusable by third parties, other websites or applications... and give a better visibility of the volunteers' work.
