Hi Lydia, Very cool. You might want to expand on this text: "Language links in the sidebar will automatically come from Wikidata, once the article is linked on Wikidata. No special syntax is needed for that."
Speaking as someone who knows nothing about Wikidata, the phrase "once the article is linked on Wikidata" doesn't mean anything. From a bit of digging around, I see that someone has to create a Wikidata page for each biographical subject, but who? Will the bot "MerllwBot" (that created the Mario Goeppert-Mayer page) eventually create all the others? What exactly should editors do at this point? Just sit back and wikidata goodness will flow? Or take active steps to replace lists of interwiki links with automatically generated ones? Steve On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 11:45 AM, Samuel Klein <meta...@gmail.com> wrote: > This is simply wonderful.
