Summary
changeProposal
changeSimple English Wikipedia incorporates Wikidata infoboxes. This would happen in two phases: an experiment and evaluation, then possibly adoption and hosting the project. The initial objective is designing limited experiments to assess and report how much volunteer labor Wikidata infoboxes require to manage and how much value they provide to readers. If the community at Simple English Wikipedia views these infoboxes favorably, then the community will consider making Simple English Wikipedia a home for organizing Wikidata infoboxes across Wikimedia projects.
Pros and cons
changeWhy Simple English Wikipedia?
change- Wikidata infoboxes require simple language
- The ideal home project is a universally accessible Wikipedia
- The volunteer community at Simple English Wikipedia has capacity for growth
What challenges will Simple English Wikipedia face?
change- The Wikidata infobox project could have chaotic growth
- Wikidata infoboxes are technical features which not everyone has the skill to edit
- The community base of volunteers at Simple English Wikipedia is small
- The amount of engagement that Wikidata infoboxes will draw to Simple English Wikipedia's core mission is uncertain
Wikidata infoboxes till 2019
changeThe Wikimedia community established Wikidata in 2012. Its original description in February 2012 said, "We aim to have the data available for infoboxes by December 2012 / January 2013." By the end of 2019 this data was still not generally available under circumstances which the general Wikimedia community found acceptable to use. While In that time though, the Wikimedia community had done experiments and discussed which features would make the technical functionality more useful.
