https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Creator should be rebuilt as Lua module https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Module:Creator . All current functionality should be kept. For each field a fallback to Wikidata should be implemented. This fallback should be used if the field is not set locally and the "wikidata" field is set to a Q<id>.
Would be nice if wikidata id could be passed to Module:Authority_control if Authority is empty

It's not in Lua, but some work towards pushing data from wikidata through the existing Creator template can be found at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Creator/wrapper
with some test-cases at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Creator/wrapper/test
There's a bit more red text than there used to be, because some of the Lua Wikidata convenience library calls I was using have been changed. And of course what I've written isn't in Lua. But possibly it may be of some use for comparison.
@Jarekt deployed this on Commons, see https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template_talk%3ACreator&type=revision&diff=241557392&oldid=238145406 :-D
