Hello,
That's a very interesting topic, I'm looking forward to seeing the results :)
You may already know that we're already tracking entity usage on Wikipedia. Example : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama?action=info section "Wikidata entities used in this page" Documentation and several ways to access these informations : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Entity_Usage
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Bests,

Great idea.
The first approach involves analyzing Wikipedia templates to look for
explicit references (i.e. “#property:P<some number>”) across all templates.
This syntax is rarely never used on fr.wiki (it's even now forbidden in the main namespace) where almost all calls to Wikidata is done through modules (we had an RFC which *kind of* make it mandatory).
Meanwhile on fr.wiki, we extensively use categories (automatically added) for tracking Wikidata, main cat is https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Cat%C3%A9gorie:Page_utilisant_Wikidata_par_propri%C3%A9t%C3%A9 ; I'm curious to have a comparison to see if a lot of Wikidata calls are untracked by categories.
