I think it would be cool to use
http://mappings.dbpedia.org/ - it already

mappings for hundreds of templates in different language versions to the

easy
enough to derive a mapping between a wikipedia template and wikidata.
Actually,
I was under the impression the wikidata <-> dbpedia already existed, but I
don't
see it on the site right now. Adding Anja Jentzsch, she might know.
Even if it proves too tricky to map individual template parameters this
way, it
should still be possible to at least detect the class (instanceof) of an
item
based on the templates the respective wikipedia page contains. We should
definitely map dpedia classes to wikidata items.
Sergey Skovorodkin is working on a dbpedia<->wikidata mapping as a GsoC for
DBpedia this year

I'm CCing him to see if he can report the status or if he might need help
with our properties, maybe we are missing some or need to clarify some
others. Sometimes we are using qualifiers to extend properties instead of
creating new ones.
