Prototype with more focus
We thank the committee for the feedback and would like to address two points with this reply, which are interconnected. (Point 1) We are aware that our community engagement was not yet very extensive. This is mainly caused by the fact that feedback is best discussed based on a working prototype as users can see the tool, play around with it and criticize/praise and it is following Rapid_application_development. Point 2 is that our proposal is written on a meta-level, i.e. it describes how to tackle the problem from a bird's eye view. However, it is very hard to see how this would work out for the individual editor, who is only concerned with some articles where she chooses to edit normally. During the last months we have worked in the background on a better engine to aggregate data and we are now able to provide another prototype for part of the Template:Infobox_Building of Eiffel_Tower. We will also post the prototype on Wikidata/2018_Infobox_RfC to collect first feedback there and also start to collect ideas for the 10 Sync Targets.

The prototype is a hard-coded version of the interactive user script. If activated, the script will insert a sync button next to the template parameter. The sync button could also contain different colors like green/red to dignal that the attribute might need attention. Upon clicking the editor is redirected to an external page right now to see the other values. At the moment, this is still an external website, but the underlying code is done in JSON/Javascript and it can be integrated into UserScript and Wikipedia UI seamlessly, i.e. with a pop-up box.

The presented info is focused on the specific source of which the request comes from, in this case ENWIKI and highlights the value of the source for easier orientation. Note that the data in the prototype is still not up-to-date and also references are missing (part of this proposal). Note that this just another prototype which might change significantly based on the community feedback. Also the data is still very sparse.
