Hey :) Guillaume just reminded me that I have not yet posted this here but only on the village pump and Signpost. Sorry. I'll fix that now with this email.
Later today (evening UTC) we'll deploy the first phase of Wikidata on the English language Wikipedia. We've already deployed the first phase on the Hungarian, Hebrew and Italian Wikipedias and things there went rather smoothly. We hope this is the case here too. What is going to happen exactly? * Language links in the sidebar will come from Wikidata if they exist there. * Existing language links in the wiki text will continue to work and overwrite links from Wikidata. * For individual articles language links from Wikidata can be supressed completely with the noexternallanglinks magic word. * Changes on Wikidata that relate to articles on this Wikipedia will show up in Recent Changes if the option is enabled by the user * At the bottom of the language links list you will see a link to edit the language links that leads you to the corresponding page on Wikidata. * You can see an example of how it works at http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Curie * The second phase of Wikidata (which is about Infoboxes was started on Wikidata but can't yet be used on any Wikipedia. This will follow later. Please let me know if you have any questions.
