Wikidata is a central knowledge base which provides a common repository for facts across WMF wikis and in particular Wikipedia. Wikidata allows editors to easily integrate claims from Wikidata directly into templates in Wikipedia using simple {{#property}} syntax or with advanced (and complex) Lua interface. In this lecture we will discuss and demonstrate some of the benefits of integrating Wikidata to infoboxes: catching errors or outdated data in Wikipedia where Wikidata and Wikipedia doesn't agree, fill missing images in infoboxes using Wikidata, and fill missing facts.
With the benefits in our mind, we will then discuss challenges with Wikidata:
- How can we allow editors to easily import data to infoboxes?
- Language challenges with Wikidata: How should we handle claims where there are no labels in the wiki language (nor in the fallback language)? and gender specific claims?
In this lecture I will present experience learned from hewiki Module:Infobox, as well as solutions in other Wikis.
