I've been trying to understand the RfC 3 times now and still fail. So I can't answer your questions unfortunately. The short and simplified version of how complex queries will work: * someone defines a query on a page in a special query namespace (eg "everything that has author = Douglas Adams") * the result of the query is a list of items matching the query * the Wikipedias can include the result of the query and visualize it in certain ways on a page. (eg the wikitext of the article "List of works by Douglas Adams" would have a call to include the query result from Wikidata) Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.
