Editors who are interested in Wikidata usage in Wikipedia may also find these discussions to be of interest: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Infoboxes#is it ok to remove infoboxes because they are fetching from wikidata and or duplicative?; Wikipedia talk:Biographies of living persons#Proposal for reciprocal link. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 05:27, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Local infobox vs. Wikidata infobox

@Justlettersandnumbers: As the local version of the infobox and the Wikidata version produce nearly identical results (compare this to this), why substitute the former for the latter? The ordinary reader will probably not even notice the difference, yet we've sacrificed a great deal of added functionality by downgrading to the manual version. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 05:14, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Cl3phact0, how are you? So that messing about by bad actors on wikidata is not reflected – without our knowledge or control – in this project? Thanks for reverting the bad edits there relating to this page, but ... should we really need to switch to another project to make such a revert? I'm not sure what extra functions the wikidata version of the infobox has, but I am quite sure that the local one reflects about 20 years of editor consensus, which makes it hard for me to see why we might want to use something different. There's been some discussion of this matter quite recently, I don't this minute recall where, happy to try to track it down if this is important to you. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:55, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, thanks. You? Wikidata use in enwiki is clearly a subject that has divided editors (both recently and in the past), and this article is an interesting case in point. I've been looking at it and thinking about initiatives that might lead to positive outcomes (if you follow the links in the thread above, you will find some recent discussions). Template talk:Infobox person/Wikidata also has a fair bit of recent discussion and activity. It seems important to clarify these matters and tidy up our house, especially in light of the impact of LLMs on the project (and knowledge more broadly). Happy to discuss elsewhere too.
