Hi all, Some time ago there was an RFC on Wikidata about supporting Wikipedia sources [1]. The outcome was positive, the only thing blocking any further advance is, as Thomas pointed out, that the arbitrary access of items is still not available [2].
About the "cite pmid" templates, I think it doesn't matter much from the Wikidata POV. There will be an item representing each source and it will contain all associated external identifiers (doi, pmid, etc), it will not matter which one you use to find it.
