Aren't the controversial issues along the lines of "who decides whether any infobox should be used on an article" and possibly "which fields should an infobox contain"? Both of those issues seem entirely unrelated to whether or not the data for the fields that are present in the infobox may be optionally fetched from wikidata. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
