There is a better alternative to storing lists - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tabular_Data -- it allows you to store a CSV-like table of data on Commons, with localized columns, and access it from all other wikis from the <graph> and Lua scripts.
A good example of it -- "per state GDP" page -- see graph in the upper right corner. Page: List_of_U.S._states_by_GDP <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_GDP> Data: GDP_by_state.tab <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data:Bea.gov/GDP_by_state.tab> Wikidata is not very well suited for lists data, but tabular data was designed for a relatively large (up to 2mb) lists.
