The data will be in the Wikidata pages (called items). It will be in the items for the articles, not the template. http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q217189 The mechanism has already launched on some Wikipedias. It will be on all of them soon. Details are here. http://blog.wikimedia.de/2013/03/27/you-can-have-all-the-data/

So for a film article whose corresponding item on Wikidata is fairly complete you can just put {{Infobox film}} at the top of the article and everything will work as expected. They can click the link at the bottom of the article to go to the item on Wikidata and update the values. Then anywhere in the article, including the template and other language versions of the article, the information will be automatically updated. To do this means changing in the template where it says: | label1 = Directed by| data1 = {{{director|}}}to say:| label1 = Directed by| data1 = {{{director|{{#property:p57}}}}} 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. In the next update you will just be able to write {{#property:film director}} instead of {{#property:p57}}. As far as statements to include on templates, it could be interesting once the transition has more momentum to see what types of items use a template. You can already see what pages embed a template with the Wikimedia API. I'm not sure what the best workflow would be for this. I can imagine that eventually it would be awesome if I have some information about a new movie coming out, so I go to create a new article. Then when I am writing the article it has a textbox on the side to specify a type for the article. So then if I type in film for the type, it automatically adds the typical templates used in a film article to the article text and then shows part of the Wikidata UI to specify the properties that most films have. Then when I click save it could automatically add the appropriate statements to Wikidata at the same time I create the article.

For example, for http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6171351, currently it has interlanguage links as a regular wikipedia page. I'm wondering if wikidata project will also add statements for it. If so, how will it look like and how will people use it in wikipedia articles with that template? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Wikidata-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l _______________________________________________ Wikidata-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l _______________________________________________ Wikidata-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l
