Wether you couple text, wikitext or an ID, it doesn't really matter that much. you still need the software to make it accessible, usable and understandable during the upload process or the 'maintenance' process. The view != data model 4: You should not make too much interteam commitments if you aren't directly interacting. Be agile, change plans as you go to find the best solution if needed. Be informed sure, but don't wait. My point is YES, wikidata is important and it overlaps with some aspects of these goals, but it's just one part of the userstory, and it's the part the general user will care least about, and the part that is probably easiest to replace (since it's backend facing).
