Interesting idea! In one of our recent Small wiki toolkits workshops <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Workshops>, an attendee suggested that a low-code approach to extending or customizing the Pywikibot framework be made available as the current approach is too complex for novice programmers who are heavy users of this framework. I think this might be a good use case to consider.
On a slightly different and related note, Suchakra (cc'd) and I had once proposed an idea for the Scratch platform around "Building information-rich stories with new and experimental Wikipedia blocks!" The idea was that with a new set of experimental blocks, children would be able to generate stories, animations, and games in Scratch using data from Wikipedia / Wikidata (e.g., populating a list of LEGO movie characters). Sharing here in case any piece developed as part of the project can be an interesting contribution to Scratch :) If anyone wants to chat more about this, we are happy to brainstorm.
