In practice, many infoboxes are mixtures of language-neutral data, language dependent text, and media items. But even if limited to data only display, a complete wikidata rendering would not only have to provide full translations of the property names, but also the links to Wikipedia-specific pages and tooltips for many infoboxes and properties. Thus, wikidata needs separate rendering definition for each client-wikipedia. What is the convincing advantage to centralize this in wikidata rather than letting the wikipedia communities handle this independently?
