Hello Léa, Thanks for the update. I am thinking about starting a discussion to have the Wikidata bridge feature for Wikidata driven infoboxes on Bengali Wikisource. Let's see.
I have just one concern. The feature will bring more and more vandals, who are active in those Wikipedia or other Wikimedia projects, directly to Wikidata through this feature. How will the Wikidata community deal with them effectively as the number of vandalism might increase manifold?
