Hello everyone,
Sure: Reasonator is a great example, but converting the whole code is taking more time
then making new stuff. You just can't intergrate it.

At this step queries are planned

<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Development_plan> I guess placeholder
articles are lower in Lydia's list, this seems only a preliminar steps.
So it's not stupid to assume they will be ready.
I read your blog a long time, including your posts about reasonator. I'm on this
project for as long as you, I hope you know that. I just don't see your point, nor a
clear answer. And I don't want to guess.

Hoi,
Until Wikidata provides query functionality, any arguments about it are without much
merit. Until that time WDQ provides functionality. That functionality can be implemented
in new functionality when it arrives.
As to the question if I know Reasonator ... Read my blog ... [1]
Thanks,
GerardM

Nope, I speak for myself. Nether told anything else.
Do you really know what Reasonator is about ?
I don't really appreciate the tone, I think reasonator is really cool and I'm
probably one of the people who pushed its use the most in Wikidata. Do you have a useful
answer to your own question ?
One point is that Reasonator uses Wikidata query, who, last time I checked, was not
planned to be integrated into Wikibase. Wikibase will have its own query engine. It would
be a giant software architecture mess if the core mediawiki/wikibase depends on external
query engine.

Hoi,
One of the requisites as mentioned on the page by Lydia is that it is usable on any and
all projects. Relying on local only technoloy like templates do not make sense.
Reasonator DOES provide functionality that is similar to what can be achieved with
templating. When a person has relatives, for instance it will show. When something is in a
particular location, it will show the hierarchy. when there is a geo coordinate, it shows
a map,
Now citing "political reasons" begs the question since when our community
decides NOT to implement things that are so manifestly in line what our mission.
When you consider in build queries... That is what Reasonator offers for a long long
time.
Do you really know what Reasonator is about ? Do you speak for the community ??
Thanks,

Hi Gerard, I like Reasonator a lot, but there is several advantages to an integrated
solution :
* We can reuse technologies of the mediawiki ecosystem, like for example a very important
one : templates, that are already used an that a lot of wikimedians knows. It can be used
to build template articles. I don't know if reasonator atm had a lot of contributions.
It needs a github or something account and Javascript knowledge.
* community is reluctant to use not in wiki tools for such needs, it's politically
hard to push Reasonator integration into Wikidata fundamental templates, I can tell.
* A solution based on prebuilt queries to select the appropriate template seems not so
hard to implement only with Wikibase concepts, and deeply integrated to the mediawiki
ecosystem, integrate Reasonator will probably eventually not result into such result.
And yes, Reasonator is usable right now. So it's cool that this feature is not
implemented right now :) And reasonator can follow its own path.

Hoi,
You also forget that it HAS been in use on several Wikipedias in the past. So when that
was no problem why is it a problem that can not be overcome now and for now?
Thanks,
GerardM

Hoi,
They are mostly excuses. The software has been in use for a LONG time. It is known for
its relevance for the same long time.. So the value of this need is diminished by the lack
of attention in the past.
The point is that these excuses are very much in the way of us achieving our goal..
sharing in the sum of all knowledge. The knowledge in Wikidata is available knowledge to
us so we do not have a valid excuse.
Thanks,
GerardM

Reasonator works now.
Yes, but the thing is that putting anything on production is not just including it
there.
The whole code needs to be reviewed and there are some limitations, especially
with 3rd party libraries. Bootstrap is a no-go. There are code conventions, performance
and compatibility issues (mediawiki has to support IE 8) and internationalisation. And
tests.
Maybe some of these things are already there, but still the review would have to be
done.
Michał
