Hi Jeremy and Max,

1. Does the wikidata design not entail template/parser calls which can be inspected by editing the page and seeing *all* data passed for storage to/by the wikidata engine? Are you saying that wikidata's data entry interface is to be the only method to be available to *humanly* see what data is being stored?

2. About "page type" - where is this discussed? I look in the RDF info for Wikidata and all I see is

w:Berlin s:Population Berlin:Statement1 .
Berlin:Statement1 rdf:type o:Statement .
<snip/>

I see NO 

w:Berlin rdf:type some-type-as-asserted-by-jeremy-and-max.

Would you please provide a link or pointer to documentation about these "types"? 


Thanks - john

Hi Max - why do you say "now that Wikidata breaks the assumption that pages store wikitext" ?

Pages can now have a type and some pages will be wikitext but some
will be other types like structured metadata. Rendering, storage
format, diff generation, etc. will depend on page type. (AIUI; only
98% certain about all of that. other people can surely elaborate)
