This is great, but the solution I saw (i.e.
{{#property:population|current-value=309000000}}) makes the whole
Wikidata absolutely useless. The changes in wikidata items are already
visible in users' watchlist, and if I'm not mistaken even in recent
changes.
I'm sorry, but I do agree with Michael: we need to focus primarily on
importing data and their references and then adapting the templates.
This is the reason why Wikidata has been put up: to make data storage,
editing, and even creating new articles easier.
Plus, just a note about seeing an item as of 2011. If I try to see
what an article looked at that time and if a template in the meantime
has been substituted and deleted, I'd see only a red mark stating
"Template:Whatever" instead of that template. In 12 years, nobody
complained about that... :)
