I think that I haven't got it completely:

Will such data be in that template's wikitext or we will put them as a
statement in its wikidata page (such as, a statement in
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6171351)? If it is in that template's
wikitext, then for {{Infobox film}} in an article, in order to render it
correctly, we have to also read that template page (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_film), isn't it?
And when will such mechanism be launched?
Thanks.
