  One of the problems that you will encounter is that the contents of an 
infobox are ultimately subject to consensus on individual articles (on the 
English Wikipedia at least). That implies, for example, that a "town template" 
can't have `"country_required=true"` coded into it as that level of 
decision-making is presently delegated to individual articles that use the 
template. The best we could accomplish without further central consensus is to 
ensure that an //individual article// can set something like 
`"|country=_NODISPLAY_"` which would override any template settings and 
suppress the display of the country field.
  
  The RfC governing the use of Wikidata in infoboxes on en-wp is 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Wikidata_Phase_2 - 
see Question 1, Option 4 discusion. Option 5 did //not //gain consensus.  It is 
probably well out-of-date by now, but there's nothing else to refer to.
