::: Can Wikidata data be directly imported into/exported from the article pages themselves? I got the impression that it's a separate source, so to find out whether Schulze passes monotonicity, you'd have to deliberately go to Wikidata to check. What I'm imagining is something more along the lines of being able to add a tag or a section to a page (e.g. "Passes monotonicity" and "Monotonicity proof reference" on the Schulze page), and then that automatically updates the Monotonicity page. I'd like the process to be as effortless as possible. [[User:Kristomun|Kristomun]] ([[User talk:Kristomun|talk]]) 11:28, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

:::: Yup, Wikidata data is public domain, and we can import/export/do-whatever with it. I don't know how tightly coupled Miraheze wikis are with Wikidata, but I believe it's possible to use Lua to pull Wikidata data from Wikipedia in real time. The ideal solution would be to do it in a way that works with Wikipedia. Even if there isn't currently an "ideal" way of doing it on Wikipedia, there are a number of different strategies we could take to extract the data from Wikidata: a) immediate real-time update, b) bot-based periodic update, c) editor-driven, script-assisted update, or d) totally manual synchronization. My preference would be to start with a combination of "c" and "d", and then graduate to "b" and eventually "a" over time. Even "d" is valuable, though, because we populate a well-regarded repository that could also serve as a source for Wikipedia in all languages. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 16:22, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
