#mediawiki-extensions-page_forms <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mediawiki-extensions-page_forms/> already works with SMW and Cargo <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Page_Forms>. Could it be enhanced to support Wikibase, even if it doesn't support all features right away - rather than reinvent the wheel? Mentions of Cargo <https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-PageForms/search?p=1&q=Cargo> might be useful to identify code points to edit. Even if only part of the front end is usable, that might save time and effort; and improvements could aid semantic editors in general. Forms are crucial in helping skilled editors / data modellers with domain knowledge crystalize that into a template of an item that can be easily filled-in by others - rather like regular MW templates. Model items could be used to suggest claims/snaks (and perhaps a ShEx? <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Schemas/Tutorial>), but this seems less important for smaller projects, as form creators probably selected/created properties to begin with. Creation via curated forms could also help it feel like you're editing a page on a wiki, not building a data structure on an alien site filled with Qs. That this may be being done is an implementation detail. From this perspective, it'd be great if it could be done via client editing (a-la Wikidata Bridge <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Bridge>), so users don't leave "their own" wiki - but if that's too complex, merely having a form //somewhere// will help.
