Your proposal remains flawed for reasons that have been explained to
you previously and at length.

Your claim that "no information will be lost" remains false.

Repeatedly bludgeoning us to accept the proposal - or to repeatedly
reiterate objections - does not resolve any of its flaws.

If you are confused, you can ask for further explanation - though we
may be at the point of diminishing returns.

Linking to Wikidata identifiers is not "unnecessary".

Space - of which this entry takes up very little - is not an issue for
infobox templates.
