Hi,
On a related note, there is also an upcoming project, Wikidata Toolkit [1], that will look into implementing query functionality over Wikidata content, not to replace the Wikidata query features but to provide functionality that is not a top priority for the core development. The first step towards this will be to collect concrete requirements (what queries exactly? on what part of the data?). I will send an email about this in due course, but input is always welcome.
There is no query result integration into Wikipedia via this route, but a range of interesting Wikidata-driven Web services and query features could be created. The lack of tight coupling to Wikipedia deployment makes this project a lot more flexible, with room for experiments and new ideas that might also inspire future core features.
Cheers,
Markus

Hoi,
I agree that the integration of Wikidata in all the different
Wikipedias, Wikivoyages, Wikisources, Wiktionaries and Commons is the
most important objective. It is so important because this ensures that
the data will be actually used.
We are doing fine I think. However, not all the quirks of specific Wikis
can be supported. Wikidata is data driven and consequently it matters a
lot if a Wikipedia article is an article, a list or used for
disambiguation.
Thanks,

Absolutely the most important thing about Wikidata is the deep
integration (both technical and social) into the Wikipedia universe.
Building a sensible query framework for a system working at Wikipedia
scale (http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/wikipedia.org) is far from
trivial. I've glad to hear that Wikidata are taking the time to do
this carefully.
