The data will be in the Wikidata pages (called items). It will be in the items

I'm little confused here: I mean that in a template wikidata page such as

like a meta-data (schema) in a template. Such as, in the above page, we may
add a statement as:

data: {{{director|{{#property:p57
We may eventually add statements to the items for templates, but none of our
current properties make sense for them.

However, the Infobox film template is included in 76000 articles. Each of those
articles has an item on Wikidata that will

Hi,
Wikidata is a very useful effort. It seems associating an item with a
wikipedia article. Then I'm thinking the following scenarios to understand
it further:
Say, an article is associated with an item Qx.
1) It becomes redirect to another article, will Qx be changed in this
scenario?
2) It
As far as I know, changing an article never automatically changes an item in
Wikidata. I think many of the items in Wikidata are created by scanning the new
pages feed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:NewPages I could be wrong
though.

Although you can create a new item that doesn't correspond to an article here:

I've been practicing using the Wikidata and MediaWiki APIs today. Even though
the Wikidata API is still being developed, using it was more pleasant than
parsing the templates. The good news is I'll probably be able to reuse a lot of
that code for other infoboxes that still need to be imported. I

Hi Michael,
I had blocked your IP before I saw this email. We have a bot policy (

approval before they can run their scripts (see

Bot approval is needed for any task that's going to be editing at high
speeds or is (semi-)automated, which yours was. You can just request
approval for "adding claims based off of Wikipedia infoboxes" and say
you're going to start with films, and that will be good enough, so you
won't need to requ
