However the drawbacks are: - new users may easily mess up wikitable - this does not provide Wikidata integration unless you warp each row over a template that uses Wikidata - Note: for a stable list, what I propose is not transcluding data on-the-fly from Wikidata (since 1. this will make a page access many Wikidata entities potentially hitting entityAccessLimit; 2. thisincrease the potential of vandalism) instead, stable data are stored locally and can be compared with Wikidata via a new special page such as Special:Inconsistency. - data is not machine readable, and there are no type safety for data >> A more user-friendly editing interface > > Are you sure editing JSON is more user friendly than editing a table? (Either wikimarkup based, which can even be edited via GUI, or template based which is pretty much the same as JSON complexity wise but uses familiar syntax) JSON only described the internal storage method - the proper edit interface should be similar to Microsoft Excel. > ---- > > To be honest I am not sure how this would be helpful as opposed to having such lists generated automatically. I see value in having a list of senators that automatically updates basing on WD, this way a smaller Wikipedia would not need to update everything manually after a general election. But I see little value in having such lists still manually maintained but now adding JSON to list of required skills to every single Wikipedian. In my opinion this is different from the current Data pages on Commons which deal with more raw data such as numbers and that do imply high degree of technical expertise to deal with. - For now data page is a Commons-only feature and not available in other wikis (though it is very trivial to enable it elsewhere). - Commons data page does not integrate with Wikidata. In my proposal fields can be populated locally, from Wikidata or even derived from other fields.
