Hi Amir, Hi Joan, thank you both for your great work on the Python Bots that you are creating for Wikidata.
The two of you have uncovered an important double abstraction of Wikidata: the dual life of items and pages. Yes, Wikidata is MediaWiki. An item is represented on one page. And can thus be edited as pages. But there is also the possibility to deal with items directly, and not worry about the underlying MediaWiki layer. The two projects deal with Wikidata on the two different levels. And I think this is good, because right now, no one knows what the best way will be to access Wikidata programmatically. I would love to see many different approaches being tried now and in the following months, and then let the wild world out there decide which one shall flourish. If you need anything from us, we will try to accomodate. We got many good comments from Merlissimo, and will be making sure that they get implemented, although we cannot ensure that we do it in the timespan he would prefer. Cheers, and again, thank you!
