Hi. If I wanted to make a page on the English Wikipedia using wikitext called "List of United States presidents" that dynamically embeds information from <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q23> and <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11806> and other similar items, is this currently possible? I consider this to be arbitrary Wikidata querying, but if that's not the correct term, please let me know what to call it.
A more advanced form of this Wikidata querying would be dynamically generating a list of presidents of the United States by finding every Wikidata item where position held includes "President of the United States". Is this currently possible on-wiki or via wikitext? If either of these querying capabilities are possible, how do I do them? I don't understand how to query Wikidata in a useful way and I find this frustrating. Since 2012, we've been putting a lot of data into Wikidata, but I want to programmatically extract some of this data and use it in my Wikipedia editing. How do I do this? If these querying capabilities are not currently possible, when might they be? I understand that cache invalidation is difficult and that this will need a sensible editing user interface, but I don't care about all of that, I just want to be able to query data out of this large data store.
