Hi all,
thank you for the great resource, Yaron, and thank you all for the
further suggestions. They come at exactly the right time for me and my
side project.
FWIW, Cradle is very nice but requires OAuth and uses Magnus Manske's
magnustools package which includes a few hardcoded WikiData references.
This makes it a little bit difficult to adapt to custom WikiBase
installations (at least that was my impression last year - I had
trouble getting autocompletion to work).
Cheers,
Raphael

Hi Laurence,
Thank you for pointing out those other projects. I had forgotten
about LinkedWiki, even though I've known about it for a long time. I
had forgotten that it could handle maps natively - that's pretty
neat.
Thanks also for pointing out Cradle - it's good to see that others
have thought in the same direction. (And always amazing to see the
number of projects Magnus Manske has been involved in.) I do think
that it would be easier to start from scratch rather than trying to
modify this project, due to its limitations, including the two big
ones you mentioned: no editing of existing data, and not being on-
wiki. Still, potentially some of this code could be re-used.

Recently, we have been thinking about
how to improve the Wikibase interface,
to get around its limitations - such as
the lack of on-wiki queries.
One other tool that seems like it would be worth including in the
discussion there is LinkedWiki:
https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LinkedWiki
It can also create a table or a map from a SPARQL query, and
related Lua functionally.
Regarding your proposal at the end, it reminds me of Cradle, which
can use EntitySchemas to define types for creation;
e.g.https://furry.wikibase.cloud/tools/cradle/?#/shex/E2
Perhaps it would be worth expanding that project to editing
instead? The source is MIT-licensed:
https://github.com/magnusmanske/cradle
I agree it would be useful to have these tools more integrated into
the UI itself, rather than as a constellation of clunky-looking
add-ons.
