As far as I know there is no working lua modules that deal with interactions
with Wikidata (like https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Module:Wikidata) as we are
all waiting on random access or access to properties on wikidata for known
wikidata IDs. Such Module would be a first step, it should be shared among
multiple templates (Artwork, Creator, Institution, Authority Control, etc.),
and it is hard to start without it.
I think we should have a page where such tools and efforts are listed so we do
not duplicate efforts. I personally like using
{{Creator/wrapper|item=Q…..|wikitext=1}} on wikidata (see
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Jarekt/a) to generate Creator page
wikicode. It is not perfect but it is a great start. Jane, you mentioned
"create Commons creator template from a Wikidata biographical item” Magnus
tool. Can you link to it. I could not find one.

Subject: Re: [Commons-l] Wikidata data in templates
Susanna, Did you read my mind? I have exactly the same questions!! For my own
work on artworks where I am searching individual files for upload to both
Commons and Wikidata, I have created my own tool to prepare an artwork template
for commons at the same time as creating a new item on Wikidata (using quick
statements).
The only tools I am aware of are the ones Magnus has so kindly made available
to use. Personally I use the "create Commons creator template from a Wikidata
biographical item" and modify the output slightly to create a category as well,
when I find artworks on Commons that are as yet uncategorized. Unfortunately
there is no "Create a Wikidata item from this file with artwork template on
Commons", but I would love to have that too. Maybe worth creating a wish for
the wishlist survey on Meta for this?
Best, Jae

I am trying to catch up with the discussion about using Wikidata data in
Wikimedia Commons. Here are some questions that have come up with the work with
our GLAM partners as well as thinking about the Map template.
What is the current status of the Artwork & other metadata templates as well as
Creator and Institution templates as opposed to data on Wikidata? Should I just
encourage to place the same artist & artwork metadata in all of them +
Wikipedia infoboxes, or could I focus on Wikidata and create snippets that read
that data from Wikidata? What's the policy, are there Lua scripts and templates
for that on Commons? What will happen if I try to create some?
Cheers,
