Templates can pull all the values for parameters from Wikidata, so that
instead of writing the template name and a lot of lines with parameters and
values, you just write {{Infobox city}}. Unfortunately I don't know of any
examples of templates that actually do it, but maybe Wikidata people can
provide some.As a temporary step to that direction, I am proposing to make translating articles with templates easier in the framework of ContentTranslation, with possible help from Wikidata. There is a discussion about it on Wikidata-L right now: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata-l/2015-March/thread.html I wish I could say more... -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
