Hi Ingo, hi everyone, On the Hausa Wikipedia we experimented with the databox template and it's giving very good results (more or less 80% of the articles use the template right now). It's less work-intensive that infoboxes, which is great while the community is still small (50-60 active users here with 5-10 reasonably skilled and editing on a weekly basis). There is a bit of work to do at the beginning to translate labels on Wikidata but in the end I think it's worth it.
This page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Databox> gives pretty straightforward information on how to make it work, but I'm available to give advice/help if needed of course.
