Sk!d, of course if you ask for multiple items, you get multiple items. My question is the difference between MediaWiki concept of a "page", and the wikidata concept of an entity, specifically relating to items and properties (not queries). Are these concepts interchangeable? Is one MediaWiki page the same as one wikidata item, and have one-to-one mapping?
