Most datas in it.wp are contained in templates fields. We have, for
example, a template {{Bio}} that outputs standard incipits like "*Galileo
Galilei* (Pisa <http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisa>, 15
feb<http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_febbraio>
1564 <http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/1564> –
Arcetri<http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcetri>
, 8 <http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_gennaio>jan
1642<http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/1642>)
was an italian physicist, philosopher, astronomer and mathematician..." and
many infoboxes for many kinds of articles (some of them have parameters for
sources also). Extract them in a database seems not so complicated: there
is already a tool, mainly working on de.wp, that puts template parameters
into a database:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Vorlagenauswertung/en .
For other reasons, I asked to update it for it.wp, but it seems there are
some problems. I hope those of you working in de.wp could help in this
issue: if it works, we could use template-tiger to work around new datas.
Another reason to test on it.wp deals with interwiki language links:
running bots we found that it.wp has many interwiki conflicts, i.e. There
are pages in it.wp where an interlanguage link points to a page in a
language and a page in another language, but those last pages arent linked
each other. Surely, while working on en.wp you will come up to this issue,
and it.wp could be a proj onto testing these issues, in order to be fully
prepared.
Another strong reason to test on it.wp is the following: in the discussion
at our village pump, this proposal had no oppose and many strong support.
It is very rare on it.wp. It seems to me that testing on it.wp could be a
way to involve crowds of people into wikidata.
Best wishes,
Nickanc

We are having some discussions about maybe going
for he.wp as a second
language, but as far as I know the discussion has not happened there
yet. I would prefer he.wp over it.wp as a second test Wikipedia at the
current moment as it is an RTL wiki and allows us to test for a wider
spectrum of possible errors.
[...]
We were speaking about it with Lydia yesterday, and actually I'd give
you some reasons to prefer he.wiki to our version, exactly because of
the RTL issue.
Anyway, our goal is to help you all in developing Wikidata. Of course,
we'd love to be the second project and it would be a honour for us
all, but the final decision is still up to you. :)
More, even if we will not help you with the interlink testing, we're
plenty of datas (especially in the biographies field) to "donate", so
we'll find a way, don't worry. ;)
And I forgot to add: many, many thanks for
organizing and holding the
discussion on the it.wp! This is extremely appreciated.
[...]
You're welcome!
