Before we settle on all this I'd like to have more discussions please. Wiktionary is huge and I don't feel we've spent enough time thinking it through yet to commit to one way of doing it.

While I agree that Wiktionary has a lot of users, and the number of people involved in these discussions has been small relative to the Wiktionary userbase, we've actually spent a great deal of time discussing numerous proposals:

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wiktionary/Development/Proposals

Those of us who were involved in the discussions have reached consensus on certain portions of my proposal (the latest, dated 2014-10), and it is along those lines which I have broken up the phases.

As such, as a side note, renaming this task the way you have obscures those distinctions.

Is there an easy way to set up one (or even several) WikiData / Wiktionary integration sandboxes where interested parties could just try out things and experiment? I think prototyping an integration with a small subset of the data could be very beneficial. It would allow us to get some quick feedback on which kind of ideas could work (and where the problem areas are). Planning everything upfront is almost impossible, given the ambition of this project.

@Lydia_Pintscher I can't find the ticket we made for the baseline implementation of the Lexeme entity type. Shouldn't it be a subtask of this ticket here?

It was under the T986.
