To the question from Vishnu Mohan: I would like to know what will happen to chembox and drugbox?
I think this is a wrong question:
wikidata don't store complete chemboxes or drugboxes, but only each parameter, that will be used in this boxes (like "smelting point" etc.). So each Wikipedia will have or can have different boxes - but for a given substance all Wikipedias will show the same smelting point.

Right. I guess Vishnu should take a few things into account though: - if you're wanting to rework the whole infobox content on each article it might be wise to wait for Wikidata to be ready for that and deployed to not have to touch all of it again in a few months (assuming you decide to use Wikidata for it) - if you just want to change the template and these changes won't affect each article that uses it it's probably ok to go for that now and rework it later if you wish
Let us know if you have more questions, Vishnu.
