Description
Currently the AC form insists on you finding an object in the database, or having nothing. An option might be to allow the users also to just put in a free form name of the thing. Easier for user, lower quality data. Less pressure for people to add things to wikidata if they don;t find them..

Research direction
Start by locating the autocorrect form and tracing how it currently requires a database object or an empty value. Define how a free-form name should be represented when no object is found, while preserving the existing lookup path. Done means users can submit either a resolved object or a free-form name, with the trade-off in data quality understood.
