I am not advocating "generating"  in the sense of data creation, but am
advocating "generating" in the sense of data visualization. So now the
rijksmonument lists are only visible in the Dutch Wikipedia, though all of
the info about the individual objects is in Wikidata (thanks to the work of
Maarten Dammers and countless Wikipedians of course). Wait I will fisrt add
the objects to the Wikidata list item and repost the results here, maybe it
will be clearer for you then what I mean.
