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,

GerardM

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.
