CHANGES TO TASK DESCRIPTION
A lot of Wikipedias use Wikidata arbitrary access, via Lua, or templates like property or invoke, but these tools seem poorly documented so far. The new preferred function, {{#statements}}, is mentioned nowhere in the documentation.
We need a huge improvement on this, both for Wikipedias who would like to start working with Wikidata, and other projects like English Wiktionary that will have arbitrary access enabled soon.
- Improve the technical and user documentation, both about {{#statements}} and Lua
- Make it translatable
Existing documentation:
- https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Arbitrary_access (outdated, no mention of the new preferred function #statements...)
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Notes/Inclusion_syntax (quite vague, no mention of #statements)
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Wikibase_Client/Lua (OK for people who are already fluent in Lua, could probably be improved)
- https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Data_access (interesting page to have an overview of the ways to access data, but no mention of arbitrary access in there)
