About requiring a vote
I think I'll support requiring a vote for each case use, and I'll oppose using Wikidata after just a discussion. (clarified below) It's easy for something be technically "approved" in a discussion if few people participated or there was too little time for the discussion to develop. In a discussion, the proposals may be unclear and the "results" often change. This is purely hypothetical but might be verified in reality: A discussion might allow say, using Wikidata in a certain way for Latin, and other people might be tempted to do the same for Greek without a new discussion, or expand the first idea somehow in an undiscussed way. A vote has is about a specific proposal, it needs 2/3 majority and usually lasts for a month, which are clear requirements. Wikidata is a new and untested thing and requiring votes is a good to keep an eye on how the data is going to be used. In the future, we may change our minds and relax that policy iff the community wants. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 00:45, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
 * What happens if both proposals pass? I assume the answer is that the vote-only option takes precedence, but maybe that should be made explicit. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 17:42, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe you are correct in that the vote-only option takes precedence. I made that explicit.
 * As you surely know, I believe the logic works like this: (I'm just saying to be extra clear and to check if I'm thinking correctly) if both proposals pass, and we had to somehow obey both the proposal 1 and 2 simultaneously, the only way to do it would be by obeying the proposal 1, the stricter one. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 19:20, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * That's what I thought, but your first sentence here would therefore be an illogical way to vote: you would prefer no restrictions to requiring a discussion first. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 20:03, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I see. I meant that I intend to vote this way: support proposal 1, oppose proposal 2. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 20:06, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
