I call overkill :-)

Template parameters are a good place to start, we should just use them
better. Example: {{Persondata}} on de.wikipedia, aggregated and
updated continuously, leads to things like:
http://toolserver.org/~apper/pd/person/Jimmy_Wales

Over 380.000 biographies from German Wikipedia, with parsed dates
(where possible), places, etc.

Displaying the data (on a timeline etc) is rather trivial once the
data is available in machine-readable form.
