You will see the current value, not the old one. This is the same as for templates and images. A "time warp" system that allows us to view old versions of pages exactly as they were has long been discussed, but is tricky, especially when templates (or, in the case of wikidata, properties) get deleted or renamed. Nobody has come up with a good solution yet. The qualifiers Sven mentioned will allow us to record who was president when in Wikidata, but when including the "current president" on a Wikipiedia page, this will always be the present one, even when looking at old version of the page. -- daniel -- Daniel Kinzler, Softwarearchitekt Wikimedia Deutschland - Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.
