Hey folks :) Since one of our frontend developers is transitioning to doing more design work we are looking for someone to join the Wikidata dev team to work on Wikidata's frontend. If you know your way around JavaScript and related technologies and are passionate about Wikidata then this is your

I'm thinking it should be a combination of syntax in the page, but also in the "New Page create" page. That page now directs you to the new "Drafts" userspace, but I think it should direct you also to Wikidata. That page says this now on enwiki: Before creating an article, please read Wikipedia:Yo

Lydia, Good question! To answer your question, I have no idea. There have been no deletion discussions, but use of the template is limited at best. Here are few more ways I used it: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eerebegraafplaats_Bloemendaal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Times:_Photography_i

Hoi, The obvious is painful. When you need a placeholder... Why not use Reasonator? It is just a call to the Wikidata item that is associated with the page. Thanks, Gerard On 12 February 2015 at 11:18, Amir E. Aharoni wrote: > > The advantage of a template is that it doesn't touch core an

The advantage of a template is that it doesn't touch core and doesn't create new wiki syntax. Maybe this template could be a Lua module built into the Wikibase Client extension, so it wouldn't have to be lamely synchronized across hundreds of projects? -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע
