One answer would be deeper answer of autodescription into Wikidata. I don't know how to make this flexible and generic enough to make this only depedant of Wikibase model concept though.
One rough and not thought throw proposition would be: associate a (mediawiki?) template to a query or a class for each language, which generates a description if an item matches the query according to the values of the properties. hen we could add an API call that uses the template. 2014-08-19 16:13 GMT+02:00 Lydia Pintscher <[email protected]>: > On Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 11:19 AM, David Cuenca <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks for the stats, Gerard.
