Joseph, I agree that ideally we should not have duplicates anywhere. Currently we have thousands of mismatches between languages - e.g. in statuses and what key/tag should be used on which element. For example, see status mismatches -- http://tinyurl.com/y62j5m5e -- (please fix them in the wiki pages in the corresponding languages, the bot will automatically update the data items) Data items are currently auto-generated by a bot from the key/tag pages and from taginfo statistics. Data items already allowed tens of thousands of descriptions to be added for languages that otherwise had nothing - so they already brought a lot of positive documentation - mostly because they are far easier to edit than to create a full-blown wiki page and understanding wiki markup and template parameters. There has been a number of discussions on the wiki itself (most wiki-structure specific discussions have traditionally happened there, e.g. how to organize templates, etc), but I am happy to discuss it in other venues as well.
