Okay. I had two options in mind, though I'm not sure about which is best:
1) in the embedding code, write a list of all the Wikidata pages.
2) or tag Wikidata pages (like a category, maybe even a category) and
simply pass this category as parameter. This would be translation-friendly,
the updates being in sync across all language.

Or maybe another option, I don't really know.

Joan.
