No this is not how it's intended. First the data itself is supposed to be from Wikidata which is super simple to edit. Secondly surly they can come up with an UI for the other parts.

Those "other parts" is the huge hurdle that I'm referring to, and can't be hand-waved away. There are already tools that can take Wikidata and transform it into human-readable articles [1]
But it's not at all obvious how to build a simple UI for writing completely abstract lambda expressions that take arbitrary data and apply linguistic nuances to produce readable text with correct grammar.
