[I'm not on the devs list, so trimmed from the CC] I would like people to be able to "subst" that template (or have a big button that does the same thing), and have some code draft a stub article based on the statements in Wikidata, say: "X was a German painter born in [[Munich]] on 27 May 1801. He died in [[Berlin]] on 3 March 1899" with formatted references, a reflist template, and a pre-populated infobox. It would be delivered in preview state, allowing further editing before publication. A suitably prominent warning would alert editors that they still bear responsibility for ensuring that the subject is notable, and the article fit for publication, according to local standards. A hidden category and/or an edit tag would allow tracking. Because of the complexity of this task, we could pilot it for one type of subject (say, buildings, or people, or even a subset of one of those) in one or two languages. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
