Other Noteworthy Stuff
- There are now almost 5000 articles in Czech Wikipedia which include an
infobox without parameters, only with data from Wikidata.

<https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2015-September/007299.html>

)

<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Constraint:Units>: e.g. report
for mass (P2067)
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports/Constraint_violations/P2067>

layout

core’s
